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. 

Here is a quick list of Stagg batches, release dates, and proofs for quick reference. If you purchased a store pick, it will typically have a different proof than what you see below.
