George T Stagg Jr. Straight Bourbon Whiskey Batch 17 (128.7 Proof)

This is a beauty courtesy of one of the oldest, most prestigious and hottest distilleries anywhere, Buffalo Trace. They only produce two batches of Stagg Jr. bourbon each year. The bourbon product is now officially just referred to as Stagg, dropping the Jr from its name following this 17th batch release.

These Stagg Jr. releases have absolutely exploded in popularity over the past few years, behind incredibly quality, super high demand and not nearly enough supply. The newest release is Batch 17, bottled at 128.7 Proof and released in the fall of this year. It has great notes of Rye spice, freshly baked bread to pair with double chocolate chip cookies and some cherry and peach notes. This is the last of the Stagg Jr. releases and really went out with a bang. This is a special bottle in very short supply.
