2018 George T Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The powerhouse favorite of the Antique Collection, George T. Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon, weighs in at 124.9 proof this year. Past releases of this uncut and unfiltered bourbon have won many top awards, including last year’s release nabbing a Double Gold Medal at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This year’s release contains bourbon from barrels filled in the spring of 2003. This batch contained 284 barrels, not quite as much as last year’s yield, but still significantly more than the yield from previous years. Storage location of these barrels varied across warehouses C, H, I, K, P, and Q. This whiskey tastes of dark chocolate, espresso, and tobacco.
