Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - Whiskey Hunt Australia

Notes from Whiskey Hunt Australia

For Bourbon lovers, Stagg needs no introduction!  One of the most sought-after releases from the Sazerac Single Barrel Select portfolio, and only the second STAGG barrel pick for Australia.​

Back in October 2023 we gathered the troops to dive into 3 samples of one of our absolute favourite barrel strength expressions from the Buffalo Trace Distillery.  All 3 samples were incredible, of course we asked to purchase all 3 barrels, no luck on that front.  Narrowing down a favourite wasn’t easy, as each barrel had that classic big, bold, rich flavour we all know and expect from a Stagg.  In the end the winning barrel 15-D-16-I-4-10-014 is an absolutely incredible example of what barrel strength whiskey from Buffalo Trace is all about!
