Stagg 24A (Summer 2024)
127.6 proof NAS Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY $70 Low rye (estimated below 10%)

Creamy vanilla custard with minimal heat for the proof. Sweet and inviting with prominent French vanilla. Baking spices characteristic of Stagg Jr. in the background. Reminiscent of Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream.

Chewiest and most texturally rich of the group with substantial mouthfeel. Sweet upfront with caramel and vanilla leading. Transitions seamlessly to a long, oaky finish without drying. Full-bodied and well-integrated across the entire palate.

Long and elegant with a heavy oaky note that never becomes drying. Rich caramel and sweet oak combine with lingering vanilla to create a sophisticated conclusion.

Top notch
A contemporary standout that delivers creamy sweetness, exceptional texture, and a prolonged oaky finish that positions it as the most approachable and balanced Stagg in the current lineup.
