George T Stagg uncut Barrel Proof Bourbon Whiskey 750 ml

The crown of the Antique Collection, George T. Stagg is a barrel-proof Kentucky straight bourbon bottled uncut and unfiltered — straight from barrel to bottle, no water added. Buffalo Trace Distillery ages it a minimum of 15 years in new charred oak from its low-rye Mash Bill #1, and every fall's release is its own vintage, slightly different in proof and profile. Expect lush toffee and dark chocolate on the nose, then dates, tobacco, dark berries, and a hint of coffee on the palate. Stagg is an allocation staple that moves the moment it lands on a shelf. Pour it neat in a heavy glass, add water a drop at a time, and give it the whole evening.

How to drink George T. Stagg

Pour a small amount first and taste it as-is before adding anything — barrel proof releases like this vary bottle to bottle, so let your own glass tell you how much water it wants rather than following a fixed ratio. Dark chocolate or a slow-burning cigar are the classic pairings for a whiskey built at this intensity.
