{"product_id":"stagg-batch-24a-2024-bourbon-127-6-proof-750ml","title":"Stagg Batch 24A 2024 Bourbon 127.6 Proof 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eStagg Batch 24A is the Summer 2024 release of Buffalo Trace's barrel proof powerhouse, bottled uncut and unfiltered at 127.6 proof. The name honours George T. Stagg, who built the most dominant American distillery of the 19th century during the Gilded Age of bourbon, and this label is the younger, more frequently released sibling to the George T. Stagg bottling in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Formerly sold as Stagg Jr., the line dropped the suffix after Batch 17 and has been known simply as Stagg since. Batch 24A is built on Buffalo Trace's low rye Mash Bill #1 and aged close to a decade in heavily charred new American oak in the distillery's metal clad warehouses, then bottled with no water added and no chill filtration, preserving the natural oils and weight that define the line. Each batch reflects the specific barrels selected, their warehouse position and aging conditions, which is why the proof shifts with every release. Batch 24A pours a deep mahogany. The nose is rich and layered, with dark caramel, brown sugar and dark cherry over toasted oak, vanilla and warm baking spice. The palate is thick and mouthcoating, delivering the sweet chocolate and brown sugar flavours the line is known for in balance with bold rye spiciness, joined by molasses, leather and cinnamon. The finish is boundless and long, lingering with cherries, cloves and a wisp of smoke. At this strength a few drops of water or a large ice cube open up considerable sweetness, though experienced palates will find plenty neat. Released twice yearly in strictly limited quantities, Stagg rarely lingers on shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63.8%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e127.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Barrel Proof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBatch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24A (Summer 2024 release)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSazerac Company\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMashbill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 (low rye)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 8 to 9 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiltration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUncut and unfiltered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottling Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep mahogany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark caramel, brown sugar and dark cherry over toasted oak, vanilla and warm baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick and mouthcoating, with sweet chocolate and brown sugar balanced by bold rye spice, molasses, leather and cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boundless and long, lingering with cherries, cloves and a wisp of smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat proof is Stagg Batch 24A?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBatch 24A is bottled at 127.6 proof (63.8% ABV), uncut and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I tell 24A from 24B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are close in strength, 127.6 for 24A and 127.8 for 24B, and both carry the L24 laser code.
