  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Spring 2005 Lot B: Non-Kentucky release 131.8 65.9
Fall 2005 141.2 70.6
2006 140.6 70.3
2007 144.8 72.4

George T. Stagg is a limited-production bourbon whiskey distributed by Buffalo Trace Distillery, as part of the distillery's "Antique Collection " series. It is a high proof uncut and unfiltered bourbon, aged for approximately 15 years. It has been distributed only once a year in the fall, but in 2005 a second spring release was added. It is rare to find outside the U.S., but some is distributed in other major cities. In Europe it is even harder to find. The whiskey has been highly awarded in many spirit ratings competitions and has won best rankings over years in Jim Murrays "Whisky Bible". The San Francisco World Spirits Competition, for example, awarded two gold and two double gold medals to the bourbon between 2005 and 2009.[1]

Never had the pleasure even though I've searched every year. Same with Wellers 12.

Getting a bottle this week! The place by me has like 6 of them still. Went to Binnys last night(by the Leaf) because I had a hankering for some Stagg. They were out so I had to settle for a half bottle of Basil Hayden's last night. Thanks for the help W.B.
Nice Info Bill!

I got tired of looking for the info for each year. Glad it helps. I have at least one bottle or a portion of one of each year from 2004 to present.. lol The past two years, I have more than one though.. lol.

Wouldn't you like to know?
Was just introduced to stagg last year. That said I went through a few bottles last year and still have 1+ left. A great BOTL is holding a couple of cases of this years while I try to figure out how to get it home. One of my favourites and finest bourbons available.

Bill, that's awesome, thanks for posting that. I've still got about 4 bottles in the cupboard and know where there are a couple more lurking at a local store. While Stagg is hard to find, the hardest to find is actually William Larue Weller. Stagg is the full barrel proof Rye Bourbon (think Knob Creek) whereas WLW is the full barrel proof wheat borbon (think Maker's Mark). I LOVE Stagg, no doubt, but I only had a couple bottles of WLW and they are gone and I've yet to come across more. Great stuff.
