Stagg 2020 Release is a back vintage expression of one of the most collected and allocated bourbons in American whiskey history, part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and bottled at 130.4 proof (65.2% ABV). The 2020 vintage sits squarely in the higher-proof tier of modern Stagg releases, delivering the full barrel-strength intensity and depth that the name demands while occupying its own distinct character profile shaped by the specific barrels selected for that year's release. Every annual George T. Stagg release is drawn from a different set of barrels, making each vintage a genuinely non-repeatable and time-specific expression — the 2020 will never be produced again. Uncut and unfiltered, what is in the bottle is exactly what the barrels gave up: no dilution, no filtration, maximum natural character. Now five years out of active retail circulation, the 2020 Stagg is a firmly established back vintage that commands strong collector interest and will only become more scarce as remaining bottles sell through worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSazerac Company\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottling Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrel Proof — Uncut, Unfiltered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNAS (typically 15+ years)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65.2%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130.4 Proof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, rich mahogany with ruby and copper tones — the unmistakable natural color of long-aged Buffalo Trace bourbon at barrel strength\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold and commanding at 130.4 proof, with dark caramel, chocolate fudge, dried dark fruit, charred oak, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.

Released under the Stagg Jr. name before the lineup was rebranded to simply Stagg with Batch 18, Batch 16 holds a distinct place in the series as one of the final Stagg Jr. era releases and is widely regarded by enthusiasts as one of the most complete batches in the line's history. Reviewers consistently note that it drinks older than its NAS designation suggests, with a mature oak-forward character, deep cherry and chocolate complexity, and a tobacco and leather depth that puts it in a class of its own. Unfiltered, undiluted, and sourced directly from new charred American oak barrels using Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1, this is a back vintage Stagg release for serious bourbon collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSazerac Company\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBatch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBatch 16 (Summer 2021) — Stagg Jr. era\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottling Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrel Proof, Unfiltered, No Water Added\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMashbill\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 (Low Rye)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNAS (approximately 8 to 9 years)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65.45%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130.9 Proof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brand new copper with deep amber tones and thin, slow-moving legs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted cherry and almond lead, with crispy cornbread, Mexican vanilla extract, and a restrained proof heat that opens gracefully rather than overpowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweeter and older-tasting than most Stagg Jr. batches, with rich oak, tobacco leaf, leather, dried cherries, dark chocolate, and a building pepper heat from the tip of the tongue through to the chest.

Released in Spring 2014, Batch 2 dates from a time when Stagg Jr. was a relatively unknown commodity, before the broader bourbon collecting community had recognized just how exceptional these twice-yearly barrel proof releases from Buffalo Trace would become. Over a decade later, early Stagg Jr. batches like this one are genuine rarities that surface only occasionally and represent an irreplaceable piece of the lineup's history. Produced using Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1, the same low-rye recipe behind Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and George T. Stagg, Batch 2 delivers the classic profile of rich corn sweetness, dark caramel, vanilla, and deep oak that defines the series, in a bottle that most collectors will never have the chance to acquire again.
