Stagg Jr Kentucky Straight Bourbon Batch 14 130.2 proof

130.2 proof. Uncut. Unfiltered. Stagg Jr Batch 14 — a Spring 2020 release of Buffalo Trace’s annual cask-strength bourbon, named for George T. Stagg.

Each Stagg Jr batch is a unique barrel selection at its natural proof. Batch 14 at 130.2 proof is a higher-proof release from the original Stagg Jr era (renamed simply “Stagg” in 2022), bottled uncut and unfiltered at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Brown sugar, rich vanilla, and thick oak, with hints of honey, pecan, and apple — forgoing the heavier molasses and cherry notes of some earlier batches.
• Palate: Full-bodied and powerful, with brown sugar, vanilla, and oak carrying the high-proof intensity.
• Finish: Long and warming, lingering on the palate.
