The Antique Collection celebrates the heritage of the the Sazerac Company and the Buffalo Trace distillery, so it is only fitting that one of its products pay tribute to both the man who saved the distillery in the late 19th century, but also recognises Buffalo Trace's identity for all but five years of the previous century.
The 2019 edition of George T Stagg is a 15 year old bourbon bottled at 116.9 proof.

George T. Stagg Bourbon is a highly sought-after and coveted bourbon whiskey produced by the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Made from a blend of corn, rye, and barley, this bourbon is aged for a minimum of 15 years in oak barrels before being bottled at its natural barrel proof.
The result is a rich and complex spirit with a deep amber color and a bold, full-bodied flavor. On the nose, George T. Stagg Bourbon offers notes of vanilla, caramel, and toffee, followed by a palate of oak, spice, and dark fruit. The finish is long and smooth, with a hint of tobacco and leather.

The first sip coats the mouth and has a medium viscosity. Notes of char, tobacco, caramel, and vanilla are present. The second sip erupts with toffee, smoke, and dark chocolate notes. The spirit warms the mouth and settles with a heat in the chest. This third sip is an incredible mixture of all the tasting notes listed above and permeates the entire mouth.
The nose will entice you with a complex array of notes including cigar tobacco, espresso, smoke, char, vanilla, cherry, cinnamon, and oak.
The finish is long and pleasant. The heat from this bourbon is evident across the top of the tongue and stimulated a Pavlovian response. Notes of smoke, oak, and char are initially present. These favors progress into cinnamon and dark roast coffee. As the bourbon lingers faint notes of cinnamon and clove emerge.
