Stagg 24A
127.6 proof 8–9 years Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY $70 Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 (low rye)
Nose

Vanilla custard with gentle baking spice. Creamy and approachable with minimal aggressive heat or singe.

Palate

Chewier and creamier than expected for the proof. Rich, sweet caramel up front with a buttery, textured mouthfeel that plays well across the full tongue.

Finish

Long and well-integrated, with clean oak notes that feel earned and balanced. Sweet throughout without drying harshness.

Really good
A creamy, approachable contemporary release that balances vanilla and caramel sweetness with integrated oak and a notably longer finish than recent predecessors.
