George T Stagg 2025 Release

George T. Stagg 2025 Release is one of the most sought-after bourbons in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, an uncut, unfiltered Kentucky straight bourbon drawn from barrels aged for 15 years and 4 months. Bottled at a formidable 142.8 proof (71.4% ABV), this hazmat‑level release offers towering intensity and depth, showcasing the classic Stagg profile in one of its most powerful modern editions.

In the glass, it shows deep, dark amber colour with an expressive nose of dark cherry, cocoa, molasses and seasoned oak, threaded with notes of leather, tobacco and a touch of spice. The palate is massive and concentrated yet surprisingly balanced, bringing waves of burnt brown sugar, espresso, dark fruit and charred oak, with a long, warming finish and a pronounced “Kentucky hug”. This ultra‑rare, highly allocated 2025 bottling was listed at Blenheim Vintners in extremely limited quantities and will particularly appeal to collectors and enthusiasts of cask‑strength American bourbon and the wider Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
