Stagg 127.4 proof Straight Bourbon

Stagg is Buffalo Trace Distillery’s high‑proof, barrel‑strength bourbon, part of their heritage lineup named after 19th‑century distiller George T. Stagg and formerly known as Stagg Jr. when released twice yearly; it offers an uncut, unfiltered expression from Mash Bill #1 and typically aged 8–9 years. This Batch 24D iteration—bottled at 127.4 proof—is powerful yet balanced, showcasing the distillery’s mastery of high‑proof releases.

The nose brings rich brown‑sugar and hot‑cinnamon notes layered with dried pear, apple skin, and deep caramel, while the palate delivers velvety mocha, sticky chocolate, vanilla, black pepper, and ripe dark fruit backed by a bold rye spice. The finish is long and warming, with lingering cherries, clove, oak tannin, and gentle smoke—an assertive yet satisfying dram that exemplifies Buffalo Trace’s barrel‑strength tradition.
