Stagg comes off Buffalo Trace's low-rye Mash Bill #1 — the recipe used across the distillery's core bourbons, George T. Stagg included — with the grain split kept private. Buffalo Trace bottles it straight from the barrel and skips chill-filtration, so 24A lands at its own 127.6 proof and keeps the pristine oils a filter would remove. No age is printed; as a straight bourbon without an age statement it is at least four years old, with reviewers estimating closer to eight or nine.

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.

What proof is Stagg Batch 24A?

Stagg Batch 24A is a barrel-proof bourbon at 127.6 proof, or 63.8% ABV, bottled unfiltered as the 24A label notes. Barrel proof means it goes into the bottle at full barrel strength — no water is added to standardize the number — so the figure changes from batch to batch. As the first 2024 release, 24A reads 127.6; the later 24B, for instance, is 127.8.

How old is Stagg Batch 24A?

Stagg Batch 24A carries no age statement, so Buffalo Trace has not published a specific age. Because it is a Kentucky straight bourbon with no age shown, US labeling rules put it at a minimum of four years in oak; reviewers commonly estimate the actual maturity in the seven-to-nine-year range, though that is unconfirmed. Its mash bill is Buffalo Trace's low-rye Mash Bill #1, with the exact grain percentages also undisclosed.
