Stagg, though Buffalo Trace does not publish the grain percentages. It is bottled at barrel proof: drawn from the barrel and bottled without dilution to a set strength, which is why each batch lands at a different number (24D is 127.4 proof). It is also unfiltered, skipping the chill-filtration step that strips some texture and oils. The series is non-age-stated; the distillery describes maturation of close to a decade, but no age is printed on the 24D label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eMidnight Whiskey sells only bottles sourced through authorized U.S. distribution; each is checked for fill level, seal, and label integrity before it ships.
