21+ Adult Signature Required

George T. Stagg is Buffalo Trace's uncut, unfiltered barrel-proof bourbon. The 2011 release is a well-aged, oak-forward bourbon bottled at 142.6 proof - hazmat strength, and the highest-proof whiskey in that year's collection.

The Elemental Distinction

2011 proof: 142.6 (71.3% ABV), uncut and unfiltered - 'hazmat' strength
18-year age statement (one hobbyist table approximates 16 - confirm against the bottle)
The highest-proof bottle in the 2011 collection
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: Charred oak and coffee bean.

Palate: Dark, charred wood with bitter cocoa.

Finish: Hot, dry, and tough.

Strategic Position

Stagg is the collection's proof powerhouse, and the 2011 lands at 142.6 proof - another of the brand's run of 140-plus 'hazmat' releases, and one of its more heavily-aged, charred editions. It headlines our Antique Collection range at Midnight Whiskey, positioned down the timeline from the ultra-high proof 2010 bottling and resting next to the 133.5-proof Weller that year.

Collector Note

The 2011 George T. Stagg carries the gunmetal closure and a barrel-proof, no-age-statement panel; the age statement is reported as 18 years (one hobbyist table approximates 16 - worth confirming against the bottle). At 142.6 proof it is a classic hazmat-era Stagg, known as a big, charred, oak-forward year, following the path of the 143-proof 2010 edition. Moving forward, the 142.8-proof 2012 Stagg continued that run at a similarly potent strength.

Recommended Serving

At 142.6 proof water is all but required - a splash tempers the char and coffee. Neat in a Glencairn it is intense and tough; a large cube and patience suit a slow pour. Not a casual sipper.

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 2011 release reached 142.6 proof, in the 140-plus 'hazmat' range that defined the brand in this era, and is one of its older, more heavily-oaked editions. Stagg's proof and age vary year to year with the barrels selected.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What proof is the 2011 George T. Stagg?

Why is the 2011 George T. Stagg so oak-forward?

The 2011 release is one of the older, more heavily-aged Staggs, which gives it a deeply charred, oak-and-coffee character at 142.6 proof. It is bottled straight from the barrel with no dilution or chill filtration, from Buffalo Trace's low-rye Mash Bill #1.
