Buffalo Trace distills and ages Stagg in Frankfort, Kentucky on its low-rye Mash Bill #1 — the recipe family behind George T. Stagg, with the grain percentages unpublished. What sets the bottling apart is the lack of intervention: it is barrel proof, bottled from the barrel without dilution, so 24B reads 127.8; and it is unfiltered, skipping the chill-filtration that would strip oils and body. The release is non-age-stated — vendors estimate close to a decade in oak, but no age appears on the 24B label.

Midnight Whiskey sells only bottles sourced through authorized U.S. distribution; each is checked for fill level, seal, and label integrity before it ships. Orders are packed in protective single-bottle cartons and released to adults only — delivery requires an adult 21-or-over signature. For more on the checks each bottle passes, how we store and protect inventory, and the sourcing standards behind each listing.

What proof is Stagg Batch 24B?

Batch 24B is bottled at 127.8 proof — that's 63.9% ABV — and it is unfiltered, exactly as the 24B label shows. "Barrel proof" means the bourbon goes into the bottle at the strength it came out of the barrel, with nothing added to hit a round number, which is why each batch reads differently. The Fall 2024 24B comes in just below the winter 24C, which is 128.9 proof.

When was Stagg Batch 24B released?

Batch 24B is the Fall 2024 release — the second of Stagg's 2024 batches, following the Summer 24A bottling and ahead of the Winter 24C. Stagg comes out in lettered batches rather than on a fixed annual schedule, and each is a separate barrel-proof run identified by the code on the label. Buffalo Trace does not attach an age statement or publish the mash-bill percentages for these releases.
