GEORGE T.STAGG 2019

A Stagg distilled in 2004 and bottled in 2019 for the Buffalo Trace Antique collection, a prestigious annual range composed of three bourbons (William Larue Weller, George T. Stagg and Eagle Rare) and two rye whiskeys (Sazerac and Thomas H. Handy). Stagg was the third brand to join the range, in 2002. Its connections to Buffalo Trace are nothing new, as, after the distillery went bankrupt under the management of Edmund Haynes Taylor Junior, it was bought by George T. Stagg in 1878, who managed it until his retirement in the 1890s. It took his name in 1904.
