George T. Stagg is Buffalo Trace's uncut, unfiltered barrel-proof bourbon. The 2006 release is a 140-plus 'hazmat' edition, aged about 15 years and bottled at 140.6 proof.

The Elemental Distinction

  • 2006 proof: 140.6 (70.3% ABV), uncut and unfiltered - 'hazmat' strength
  • About 15 years old
  • One of the brand's early 140-plus 'hazmat' Staggs
  • Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1, the low-rye recipe shared with Eagle Rare
  • Bottled straight from the barrel - no water, no chill filtration

Sensory Profile

Nose: Dark oak and brown sugar.

Palate: Rich oak, dark fruit, and spice.

Finish: Long, warm, and oak-driven.

Strategic Position

Stagg is the collection's proof powerhouse, and the 2006 lands at 140.6 proof - in 'hazmat' territory, one of the brand's earlier 140-plus editions. Aged about 15 years, it belongs to the 2006 Antique Collection at Midnight Whiskey, tracking cleanly behind the historic fall 2005 hazmat release and matching the historical timeline layout that introduced the first-ever Thomas H. Handy.

Collector Note

The 2006 George T. Stagg carries the gunmetal closure and a barrel-proof, no-age-statement panel; it is aged about 15 years. At 140.6 proof it is one of the brand's early 'hazmat' Staggs, positioned immediately after the 141.2-proof 2005 vintage master selection. Moving forward down the range line, the 141.8-proof 2008 Stagg continued that run two years later.

Recommended Serving

At 140.6 proof water is all but required - a splash tempers the oak. Neat in a Glencairn it is intense and dark; a large cube suits a long, slow pour. This is a hazmat bourbon - handle with care.

Production Methodology

George T. Stagg is built on Buffalo Trace's Mash Bill #1, the low-rye bourbon recipe it shares with Eagle Rare, and bottled uncut and unfiltered at barrel strength. The 2006 release was aged about 15 years and reached 140.6 proof, in the 140-plus 'hazmat' range. Stagg's proof and age vary year to year with the barrels selected.

Authentication & Vault Preservation

Every bottle sold through Midnight Whiskey is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships. Orders are packed with padded, glass-rated handling and require an adult signature (21+) on delivery; we do not ship to anyone unable to verify legal drinking age. For our full sourcing and handling protocols, see our editorial and authentication standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2006 George T. Stagg a hazmat bourbon?

Yes - at 140.6 proof (70.3% ABV) it exceeds 140 proof, the informal 'hazmat' threshold (above the limit for carry-on air travel). The 2006 is aged about 15 years, bottled uncut and unfiltered from Buffalo Trace's low-rye Mash Bill #1.

How does the 2006 George T. Stagg relate to the new Thomas H. Handy that year?

Both are part of the 2006 Antique Collection, but 2006 was notable as the debut of Thomas H. Handy. The Stagg is the high-proof bourbon of the set at 140.6 proof and about 15 years old, from the low-rye Mash Bill #1; the Handy is a younger barrel-strength rye, joining the lineup that year.
