George T. Stagg Bourbon Whiskey 2025 750ml

George T. Stagg is the crown jewel of Buffalo Trace's annual Antique Collection — a barrel-proof bourbon of staggering intensity and complexity. The 2025 release enters the coveted "hazmat" territory at a formidable 71.4% ABV (142.8 proof), making it one of the most powerful Stagg releases to date. Aged for 15 years and 4 months and bottled uncut and unfiltered, this bourbon is crafted from Buffalo Trace's classic Mash Bill #1.

The nose billows with burnt sugar, dark chocolate, root beer, seasoned oak, and hot honey. On the palate, a viscous, oily texture carries waves of molasses, black cherry compote, tobacco leaf, and roasted nuts, with underlying notes of dates, fudge, nougat, and spearmint adding remarkable depth. The finish is exceptionally long and fiery — leather, vanilla bean, and cracked black pepper linger with commanding warmth.

Strictly limited and fiercely sought after, George T. Stagg 2025 is a monumental pour for serious bourbon collectors. A splash of water will unlock additional layers of aroma and flavour.
