From the storied grounds of Frankfort, Kentucky, the 2025 release of George T. Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon surges forward with the raw power of its uncut, unfiltered single-barrel character. Aged 15 years and 4 months and bottled at a formidable 142.8 proof, it pours with deep aromas of vanilla, oak, dark cherries and a whisper of tobacco, leading into a bold palate of blackberry, dark chocolate, roasted pecan and charred wood wrapped in warming spice. Crafted from classic bourbon grains and matured in heavy-charred American oak, it delivers a full, lingering finish steeped in toffee and peppery rye heat.

This rare expression is best experienced neat in a Glencairn to capture its full strength and layered fragrance, though a drop of water unlocks even more depth. Sip slowly, pair with dark chocolate or roasted nuts, let it stretch into the night. A bourbon built for collectors, seekers and anyone who craves Kentucky whiskey in its most intense and uncompromising form.
