138.7 Proof George T. Stagg Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Product Description

The period from 1865-1890 was known as the Gilded Age of Bourbon. Industry and innovation combined to produce stunning advances in quality and production. During this period, two noted distillers, E.H. Taylor, Jr. and George T. Stagg, partnered to build one that would survive through economic cycles of boom and bust, and through floods, fires and droughts! On the banks of the Kentucky River, Taylor built the grandest distillery the world had yet seen, utilizing state-of-the-art technology that was clearly the first and only one of its kind. Stagg supplied the financial acumen and knowledge of fine whiskies that helped build the company into one of the world's leading whiskey producers. As a bourbon expert proclaimed in 1890, the distillery is "ne plus ultra of its class," "the best of the best." The George T. Stagg Distillery continued in operation up to and through Prohibition, one of only four such distilleries to remain open during that period, and the only one to survive to the present day. Now known as Buffalo Trace Distillery, our Master Distillers and Aging Warehouses Managers have combined their entensive whiskey-making experience to present this magnificent, aged bourbon that George T. Stagg himself would have been proud to call his own. Uncut and unfiltered, and of an age and quality that only more than two decades of experience can bring, Buffalo Trace Distillery offers this bourbon as a testament to quality, tradition, and innovation, and to the struggle to persevere and prosper where most others have failed, which is what George T. Stagg and his namesake bourbon are all about. We can think of no better tribute!
