The Buffalo Trace Antique Collection celebrates the heritage of the the Sazerac Company and the Buffalo Trace distillery, so it is only fitting that one of its products pay tribute to both the man who saved the distillery in the late 19th century, but also recognises Buffalo Trace’s identity for all but five years of the previous century.

The 2024 edition is a 15 year and 3 month old bourbon bottled at 136.1 proof.

“George T. Stagg, a sought-after Kentucky bourbon whose annual release is an event among aficionados, is returning for 2022, after a two-year absence.

There was no 2021 release for George T. Stagg, a barrel-proof, unfiltered bourbon, because Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Ky., did not consider the barrels of whiskey it put down for the purpose in 2006 to be up to the usual standard.”

It just didnt look right, Drew Mayville, the master blender at Buffalo Trace, said last year. It didnt match the taste profile we expect from Stagg.
