The 2011 George T. Stagg Bourbon is one of the most explosive and revered bottlings in the entire Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC) — a true “Hazmat” release, so named for its 142.6 proof (71.3% ABV) strength, which surpasses the threshold that prevents it from being carried on airplanes. This bourbon is uncut, unfiltered, and bottled straight from the barrel, offering a rare opportunity to experience whiskey in its purest and most powerful form.
Aged for 18 years and 5 months, this vintage showcases the art of extended barrel aging, drawing out deep flavors without overwhelming the palate — a balance that only the finest barrels can achieve. Crafted using Buffalo Trace’s low-rye Mash Bill #1, this Stagg release is revered for its depth, richness, and intensity.
The nose is bold and complex, with aromas of dark chocolate, charred oak, black cherries, leather, and pipe tobacco. On the palate, expect a thunderous wave of molasses, burnt sugar, cinnamon, espresso, and smoldering spice, followed by a long, dry, and warming finish that feels eternal.
