Buffalo Trace Distillery - George T. Stagg, Jr. 129.2 Proof Frankfort, Kentucky, USA NOSE: Leather, maple syrup, brown sugar, and oak backbone with hints of cherry and subtle chocolate behind the wood. PALATE: Syrupy maple sweetness carries through with rich, viscous texture. Flavors of chocolate-covered cherries, vanilla, and toasted oak contribute complexity. Oak spice and leather deepen mid-palate richness. FINISH: Long, lingering with sweetness turning to oak and subtle spice. AWARDS: Part of the celebrated Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, George T. Stagg releases have received multiple Gold & Double Gold medals, Chairman’s Trophy, and top honors in global competitions, making it one of the most respected bourbons ever! NOTES: Legendary among bourbon collectors — uncut, unfiltered, barrel-proof, and aged roughly 15+ years. While each yearly release has unique nuances, the 129.2 proof expression (e.g., 2017 release) shows the brand’s classic bold profile.
