This expression is forged entirely from the distillery's iconic low-rye mash platform—the exact grain build shared with legendary companion series like Eagle Rare, separated fundamentally by barrel proof parameters and warehouse placement variables—distilled at DSP-KY-113 in Frankfort, Kentucky, and matured inside the wood-and-brick walls of warehouses G, K, and L. Bypassing modern chill-filtration cycles entirely ensures all natural wood vanillins and heavy corn oils remain fully locked inside the solution framework.

Every bottle handled by Midnight Whiskey is procured strictly through authorized, verified allocation channels and passes rigorous physical seal and label inspection points before being logged into inventory.

What is the proof of 2024 George T. Stagg?

The 2024 George T. Stagg is bottled uncut and unfiltered at 136.1 proof (68.05% ABV). No water is added after barreling and the bourbon is not chill filtered, so it reaches the bottle at full barrel strength. This release was aged 15 years and 2 months.

Why is George T. Stagg so sought after?

Stagg is released once a year as part of Buffalo Trace's Antique Collection, in limited quantity, and it pairs an unusually high barrel proof with around 15 years of aging. It shares Buffalo Trace's low-rye bourbon mash bill with Eagle Rare but is bottled at full strength rather than 90 or 101 proof. Demand consistently outpaces the annual supply.
