Taste: Indulge in the luxurious experience of Stagg Jr Bourbon, a profound spirit named to honor Master Distiller George T. Stagg. Crafted at the prestigious Buffalo Trace Distillery, this bourbon showcases the impeccable craftsmanship from Mash Bill #1. With a harmonious blend of corn, rye, and malted barley, this sour mash bill yields a lower rye content compared to Mash Bill #2. Revel in its rich, fragrant profile where sweet, chocolate, and brown sugar aromas meld seamlessly with robust rye spiciness. The finish lingers gracefully, hinting at cherries, cloves, and a whisper of smokiness.
History: Stagg Jr Bourbon stands out as an embodiment of power and boldness, making it one of the most accessible choices within the Stagg collection. Bottled at varying proofs and aged for no less than 7-9 years, it is presented uncut and unfiltered straight from the barrel. The bourbon is a testament to the legacy of George T. Stagg, a visionary who purchased his first distillery in 1878. By 1886, he revolutionized the industry by introducing steam heating to storage warehouses, creating the first climate-controlled environment for aging whiskey. Despite a tumultuous partnership with E.H. Taylor, the distillery flourished under Stagg’s leadership, earning numerous accolades including Distillery of the Year. The legacy continued with Albert Blanton’s distinguished career, fortifying the distillery’s reputation. Today, under the ownership of the Sazerac Company since 1992, Buffalo Trace Distillery remains a cornerstone of American whiskey heritage.
