George T. Stagg Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

George T. Stagg is a part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, a much highly sought after and much prized range of expressions released annually from the Buffalo Trace Distillery.

Uncut, unfiltered Kentucky straight bourbon, aged 15 years and 3 months, 56% angel’s share, rye is secondary grain, #4 charred barrels.

Appearance: Mahogany.

Nose: Raspberry and cashews, lemon peel, musty limestone, vanilla and a bit of cinnamon spice.

Palate: Cashews and pecans, under-ripe figs, a touch of coffee, plenty of spice like clove, nutmeg and black pepper. A hint of lighter more tropical flavors dance in the background, and the palate is left tingling from the proof and dried by the wood tannins.

The George T. Stagg makes your mouth water for more. There is plenty to keep your palate and your nose entertained for a couple pours. The surprising background flavors are my favorite here, but there is plenty to discover in the forefront.
