George T Stagg 2013 Release (128.2 Proof)

A special offering by the famous Kentucky distillery, Buffalo Trace and named after the 19th century whiskey salesman who built one of the largest and most influential distilleries in the U.S. at the time. What is now Buffalo Trace was once known as the George T Stagg distillery.

Paying homage to the salesman, these bottlings are incredibly rare and offer some of the finest examples of Whiskey making ever. The 2013 Release of George T. Stagg was distilled in 1997 (making it a 16 year old), and aged in Buffalo Trace warehouses I, K and Q, mostly on the lower floors.

At “only” 128.2 Proof, this one is a little easier to sip than the two years of Stagg before it, though lets not be fooled– it too is a monster. I’m calling this one a gentle giant though. It’s fantastic and one of those George T. Stagg bottles that’s so dang elusive and hard to get into your cellar. It’s worth the money though.
