The Elemental Distinction

  • 2015 proof: 138.2 (69.1% ABV), uncut and unfiltered
  • 15-year age statement
  • Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1, the low-rye recipe shared with Eagle Rare
  • Bottled straight from the barrel - no water, no chill filtration
  • Among the higher-proof Stagg releases of its era

Sensory Profile

Nose: Dark caramel, oak, and a hint of leather.

Palate: Brown sugar, dark fruit, and char.

Finish: Long and warm, with drying oak.

Strategic Position

Stagg is the collection's proof powerhouse, and the 2015 lands at 138.2 proof - high, though a step below the 140-plus years that came before it. It is a 15-year bourbon on Buffalo Trace's low-rye recipe. It headlines the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection at Midnight Whiskey, next to the 134.6-proof Weller that year.

Collector Note

The 2015 George T. Stagg carries the gunmetal closure and a barrel-proof, no-age-statement panel, with a 15-year statement. At 138.2 proof it sits toward the higher end for the brand. For comparison, the 309-barrel 2017 Stagg came in lower, at 129.2 proof, two years later.

Recommended Serving

At 138.2 proof a measured splash of water opens the caramel and dark fruit; reviewers recommend dilution for a bourbon this strong. Neat in a Glencairn shows the oak and leather. A large cube tames the heat for a slow sit.

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 2015 release carried a 15-year age statement and reached 138.2 proof. Stagg's proof swings widely year to year with the warehouse and barrels selected; 2015 sits among the stronger releases of its period.
