As far as cask strength bourbons, Stagg Jr. and Booker’s are some of the more established products. Therefore, they are often times compared head-to-head. They are both high heat, uncut and unfiltered. Booker’s by Jim Beam is typically released 4 times per year, twice as much as the Buffalo Trace offering. Booker’s is aged 6 to 8 years, while its counterpart is made with 8 to 9-year juice. Booker’s proof is generally in the 121–130.6 range, whereas Baby Stagg has landed in the 126-134 range.

Those 18 years of maturation have left this rye with a lot of tannin, and that’s accentuated by the rye’s relatively low proof of 90.

Food critic Morgan Murphy once wrote "If you want your guests' eyes to pop out of their heads in a fit of bourbon ecstasy, this is your bourbon." [4] Releases [ edit ] Year/Information It’s been a long road for George T. Stagg’s understudy. It originally launched to much fanfare and hopefulness of it being an easier-to-obtain version of the ever popular Buffalo Trace Antique Collection release. Instead, initial Stagg Jr. releases were a letdown as a result of their brashness. But over the years the brand matured, and eventually overtook George T. Stagg in quality from time to time, though it never truly became the readily available version everyone hoped for.

SPECIAL AWARD - Best of Category/Division/Show Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition From the 2020 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection comes yet another big, bold bourbon from the George T. Stagg range! These expression are bottled up at natural strength (this time it's an eye-watering 65.2% ABV), and boast an absolutely huge flavour profile. Highly sought-after by bourbon boffins, and with good reason – it's incredible stuff. While every bourbon lover will find their very own personal favorites, there are a few consensus standpoints.

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.
