Buffalo Trace Distillery's Stagg (formerly Stagg Jr.) is one of the market's most popular and often allocated bourbons. This bold, uncut, and unfiltered whiskey is made from Buffalo Trace's secretive Mash Bill #1, the same mash bill from which Eagle Rare, Geroge T. Stagg, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Benchmark, and E.H. Taylor are made.
