George T. Stagg·Buffalo Trace Antique CollectionKentucky Straight Bourbon

George T. Stagg is a Kentucky straight bourbon released at cask strength, meaning it is bottled at its natural barrel proof without dilution. This 2025 release carries a 15-year age statement and a very high ABV, pointing to a full-bodied, intense style.

For a novice drinker, expect a powerful bourbon with concentrated oak, sweetness, and spice rather than a light or easy-drinking profile. Older, high-proof bourbons like this are typically sipped slowly, and many drinkers add a little water to open them up.
