Stagg Bourbon—a force of nature bottled at cask strength, untouched by water or filtration.

Discover What Sets George T. Stagg 2020 Apart

Not every bourbon earns its legendary status. George T. Stagg 2020 isn’t just another release—it’s a milestone for collectors, connoisseurs, and serious drinkers alike. Unlike typical bourbons diluted for mass appeal, this expression is bottled uncut and unfiltered, retaining all the rich, complex layers that developed naturally during its long maturation.

Moreover, it is not merely the alcohol strength that captures attention. What truly makes this bourbon exceptional is the deliberate aging process. The barrels, filled in the spring of 2005, spent 15 full years resting in Warehouses L, K, and Q at the iconic Buffalo Trace Distillery. Through careful selection and expert oversight, this batch emerged as one of the boldest and most complex ever released under the George T. Stagg name.

Tasting Notes – An Explosion of Flavor

Nose

As you lift the glass, your senses are immediately greeted by intense aromas of dark cherry, deep caramel, and smoky oak. Soon after, underlying hints of vanilla, baking spices, and toasted nuts begin to emerge, revealing a complexity only achievable through extended aging and cask strength bottling.

Palate

The mouthfeel is bold, yet balanced. Flavors of charred oak, black cherry compote, vanilla bean, and candied almonds unfold seamlessly, while a warming spice builds from the background. The high proof enhances every nuance without overwhelming the senses, making each sip a layered experience of richness and intensity.

Finish

Expect a finish that lingers luxuriously. Waves of smoky oak, dark chocolate, and caramelized sugar persist long after the final sip. Add a splash of water, and softer notes of ripe plum and roasted cinnamon begin to rise, proving this bourbon evolves with time and temperature.
