Barrel Proof Intensity. Unfiltered Power. Uncompromised Legacy.

Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a modern expression of the bold legacy established by George T. Stagg — a name synonymous with the very best in barrel-strength bourbon. A younger sibling to the iconic George T. Stagg from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, this label stands on its own as a powerhouse pour favored by bourbon enthusiasts worldwide.

Batch 25C, bottled at a robust 125.6 proof, is a non-chill filtered, uncut bourbon that offers raw character and full-bodied depth straight from the barrel. Distilled by Buffalo Trace Distillery, it carries the hallmarks of the house: rich complexity, powerful spice, and a long, warming finish that lingers. Crafted with high-rye mash bill #1, Stagg delivers a signature spice kick balanced by deep notes of dark fruit, charred oak, and caramelized sugars.

Whether you're a collector or a seasoned drinker looking for bold flavor without compromise, Stagg Batch 25C is a release that demands attention and rewards every sip.
