127.8 proof. Uncut. Unfiltered. Stagg Batch 24B — Buffalo Trace’s second 2024 batch release of its annual cask-strength bourbon named for George T. Stagg.
Stagg (formerly Stagg Jr until 2022) is Buffalo Trace’s annual batch cask-strength expression — the same uncut, unfiltered barrel-strength philosophy as the BTAC George T. Stagg in broader, more accessible batches. Batch 24B at 127.8 proof is the second-lowest proof of the three 2024 releases (24B at 127.8, 24C at 128.9, 24D at 127.4) and sits between 24D’s accessibility and 24C’s higher proof concentration.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich chocolate, brown sugar, and bold rye spice — the Buffalo Trace high-rye character at 127.8 cask-strength intensity.
Palate: Sweet chocolate and caramel with bold rye spiciness in natural unfiltered character. Powerful and full-bodied.
Finish: Long — cherries, cloves, and smokiness through a warm and satisfying close.
