George T. Stagg 2025 142.8 Proof

The 15-Year Barrel Proof Titan, George T. Stagg 2025 (142.8 Proof). The Buffalo Trace Antique Collection’s (BTAC) undeniable giant has arrived. It is a pleasure to introduce the George T. Stagg 2025 Release from Nestor Liquor, your go-to partner for the most sought-after spirits in the world. This bourbon embodies strength, maturity, and intensity. Bottled at an astounding uncut and unfiltered 142.8 proof (71.4% ABV), this is a real “Hazmat” level bourbon. This 2025 release is a 15-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon that was bottled in the fall of 2025 after being distilled in just one spring of 2010.
This bourbon has been aged in freshly charred American oak for 15 years, withstanding the severe Kentucky weather to create a spirit of remarkable complexity and depth. As George T. Stagg himself would have desired, it is a pure, potent, and unadulterated experience, bottled right out of the barrel. Notes on Tasting: Nose: A complex and rich aroma of viscous molasses, dark chocolate, and black cherries, with hints of pipe tobacco, old leather, and seasoned wood. The palate is enormous, thick, and explosive. With complex flavors of burnt brown sugar, espresso bean, and dark fruit jam, the 142.8 proof produces a potent surge of “Stagg heat” that is expertly controlled by a deep, tannic oak structure. Finish: An almost endless finish. With lingering notes of dark chocolate, spicy tobacco, and a last, gratifying, smoky char, the fabled “Kentucky Hug” is in full action. This is one of the most potent bourbons to be released this year and the focal point of the 2025 Antique Collection. Nestor Liquor is your top choice for this highly allocated gem since it is your reliable retailer. Include this iconic bottle in your collection.
