George T. Stagg Bourbon Whiskey 2011 142.6 Proof

George T. Stagg 2011 Release – Buffalo Trace Antique Collection

The 2011 release of George T. Stagg is a legendary barrel-proof bourbon that exemplifies the power and elegance of well-aged Kentucky whiskey. Distilled in 1993 and bottled after more than 18 years of aging, this uncut and unfiltered expression was released at a formidable 142.6 Proof (71.3% ABV), delivering remarkable depth, intensity, and complexity. 

On the nose, rich aromas of caramel, vanilla bean, toasted oak, leather, dark cherries, and baking spices emerge from the glass. The palate is luxuriously full-bodied, revealing layers of toffee, dark chocolate, espresso, roasted nuts, cinnamon, tobacco, and black cherry, all balanced by its silky texture despite the high proof. The finish is exceptionally long, warming, and complex, leaving lingering notes of sweet oak, spice, leather, and dark cocoa. 

Widely regarded as one of the standout releases in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, the 2011 George T. Stagg remains a prized bottle among collectors and bourbon enthusiasts for its extraordinary balance of power, maturity, and flavor.
