Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2025, 142.8 Proof Uncut Barrel Proof From The Buffalo Trace Antique Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the 2025 George T. Stagg, and it came out of the barrel at 142.8 proof. Fifteen years old, distilled in a single spring season of 2010, bottled in the autumn of 2025. Uncut, unfiltered, and the proof is handwritten on the label because Buffalo Trace does not know what it will be until they dump the barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e142.8 proof is not a gimmick, it is the point\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStagg is the biggest bourbon in the Antique Collection and one of the highest proof bourbons anybody bottles with a fifteen year age statement behind it. Most whiskey that strong is young, because young whiskey holds proof and old whiskey loses it to the angels. Fifteen years in a Kentucky rickhouse and still 71.4% alcohol means these barrels sat somewhere hot and gave up water instead of spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt drinks like it. Dark fruit, tobacco, leather, brown sugar and a wall of oak, and it does not taste like 142 proof until a second after you swallow. Water opens it up considerably and there is no shame in using some.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the man on the label\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge T. Stagg partnered with E.H. Taylor Jr. between 1865 and 1890 and built what was then the largest distillery in the world on the banks of the Kentucky River. A bourbon expert in 1890 called it the best of the best. That distillery is Buffalo Trace now, and it is one of only four in the country that stayed open through Prohibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRead this before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 71.4% alcohol by volume this bottle is over the 70% federal threshold, which makes it a Class 3 flammable liquid in Packing Group II.
