127.4 proof. Uncut. Unfiltered. Stagg Batch 24D — the fourth 2024 batch release of Buffalo Trace’s annual cask-strength bourbon, the most recent Stagg batch in the current Wooden Cork collection.
Stagg (formerly Stagg Jr until 2022) is Buffalo Trace’s annual batch cask-strength expression delivering the same uncut, unfiltered barrel-strength philosophy as the BTAC George T. Stagg in broader batch releases. Batch 24D at 127.4 proof is the lowest-proof of the three 2024 releases (24B at 127.8, 24C at 128.9, 24D at 127.4) — the most accessible proof point in the current 24-series while maintaining the full natural barrel character of an unfiltered cask-strength bottling.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich chocolate, brown sugar, and bold rye spice — the Buffalo Trace high-rye character at 127.4 proof cask strength.
Palate: Sweet chocolate and caramel with bold rye spiciness. The lowest proof of the 24-series makes this the most approachable current Stagg release while retaining the full uncut character.
Finish: Long — cherries, cloves, and smokiness through a sustained close.
