“Bourbon is experiencing quite a moment these days, with the popularity of the spirit soaring among straight-up and cocktail connoisseurs. Here some news we’re cheering about: Buffalo Trace Distillery has just released Stagg Jr. Bourbon, an uncut and unfiltered bourbon whiskey weighing in at a whopping 134.4 proof (67.2% ABV)!”
The first batch of Stagg Jr. is comprised of barrels aged for eight and nine years. Future releases will undoubtedly be different proofs, as each batch is unique and no water is added. Just like George T. Stagg Bourbon, this new whiskey is not filtered and offers all the rich and complex flavors of bourbon right from the barrel. Bottles of Stagg Jr. will be limited, but several batches each year are planned.”
