Our take on the Stagg Jr. Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Stagg Jr. is Buffalo Trace's barrel-proof bourbon, released in small batches and named for the distillery's 19th-century owner. It is uncut and unfiltered, so it lands near 134 proof and drinks hot and dense, with dark caramel, oak and spice. It suits experienced bourbon drinkers who want a big, concentrated pour and don't mind adding water. Against the older, rarer George T. Stagg, it delivers a similar barrel-proof profile for far less, though it is still an allocated bottle that takes some hunting.

Pros
  • Uncut and unfiltered, so full flavor at barrel strength
  • Rich caramel, oak and baking-spice character

  • Allocated and hard to find at retail
  • Batch-to-batch differences mean inconsistent experiences
  • Hot alcohol needs water or rest in the glass

Questions and answers

How should I drink Stagg Jr.?
Start neat in a small pour and add a few drops of water to tame the heat. Ice works if you want it softer.
How does it compare with George T. Stagg?
Both are uncut, unfiltered Buffalo Trace bourbons. Stagg Jr. is younger and released in batches, so it is less oak-heavy and easier to find than the older George T. Stagg.
Is it the same mash bill as Buffalo Trace?
Yes, it uses Buffalo Trace's low-rye bourbon mash bill, the same family as Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace.
Why does the proof change between batches?
It is bottled uncut, so each batch goes into the bottle at whatever strength it came off the barrels, which is why proofs differ.
What is in the box?
One 750 mL bottle, unboxed. No glassware or other extras are included.
How long will an open bottle keep?
An opened bottle holds up for months to a couple of years. Keep it corked, upright and out of direct light.
