The name honours George T. Stagg, who built the most dominant American distillery of the 19th century during the Gilded Age of bourbon. The distillery's own story runs through him: it began as the O.F.C. Distillery, Old Fire Copper, founded by E.H. Taylor Jr. in 1869 and later bought by Stagg, before becoming what is now Buffalo Trace. This label is the younger, more frequently released sibling to the George T. Stagg bottling in the Antique Collection, and it was sold as Stagg Jr. until the suffix was dropped after Batch 17. Batch 25B is built on Buffalo Trace's low rye Mash Bill #1, a recipe crafted to highlight rich grain sweetness and depth, and aged close to a decade in new charred American oak. Bottling it at barrel strength with no water added and no chill filtration preserves the full expression of age, barrel char and maturation character. It pours a deep mahogany. The nose is bright and inviting, with vanilla cream, black cherry and brown sugar over a subtle hint of aged leather. The palate is dense and layered, thick and full bodied, delivering dark caramel, roasted pecan, cocoa nib and cigar box oak alongside tobacco and more dark cherry. The finish is exceptionally long, powerful and warming, with ember char oak, candied bacon and lingering black pepper, the sweetness returning at the very end. Serve it neat in a Glencairn or tulip glass, or add a few drops of water or one large cube to open additional layers. It pairs beautifully with smoked brisket, aged Gouda or dark chocolate.\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\u003e63.45%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e126.9\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\u003e25B (2025 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\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 Bright vanilla cream, black cherry and brown sugar with a hint of aged leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense and layered, with dark caramel, roasted pecan, cocoa nib, cigar box oak and tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptionally long and warming, with ember char oak, candied bacon and lingering black pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat proof is Stagg Batch 25B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBatch 25B is bottled at 126.9 proof (63.45% ABV), uncut and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I confirm I have 25B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe batch code is printed on the front label, and 126.9 proof is unique to this batch across the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat mashbill is used?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuffalo Trace Mash Bill #1, the distillery's low rye recipe, aged close to a decade in new charred American oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same as Stagg Jr.?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it is the same line.
