Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Kentucky Straight Bourbon | Barrel Proof | Uncut & Unfiltered | 750ml | Buffalo Trace Distillery

Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is Buffalo Trace's bold, barrel-proof bourbon, bottled straight from the barrel with no water added and no filtering. Formerly known as Stagg Jr., it took the simpler name "Stagg" in 2022, but the whiskey inside is the same powerful, full-flavored bourbon that made it one of the most sought-after bottles on the shelf.

How It's Made

Stagg is distilled at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, from the same low-rye mash bill used for the legendary George T. Stagg. After years of aging in new charred American oak, each batch is bottled at its natural barrel strength. Because nothing is cut or filtered out, every release keeps the full depth, oils and intensity of the barrel, and the proof varies slightly from batch to batch.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dark chocolate, caramel and toasted oak with vanilla, molasses and baking spice.
• Palate: Rich and robust, with brown sugar, espresso, cinnamon and charred oak balanced by deep sweetness and an oily, full-bodied mouthfeel.
• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering spice, cocoa and oak.

How to Enjoy It

Pour Stagg neat and let it rest a minute, then add a few drops of water or a single large ice cube to open up its caramel and chocolate notes. Its high proof also makes it a standout base for a bold Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
