George T. Stagg Barrel Proof 2025 Release 142.8 Proof (71.4%) Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

First released over 20 years ago in 2002, the 2025 George T. Stagg continues a legacy as one of the most extreme Bourbons money can buy. The latest edition arrives with an insanely high ABV of 71.4% (the third highest on record after the 2007 and 2016). Its quality has propelled it to the top of the list for many aficionados, including veteran American whiskey writer, Fred Minnick, who named it his No.1 Bourbon for 2025. Aged 15 years and 4 months, uncut and unfiltered, expect a commanding aroma of deep oak rounded by a touch of vanilla and explosive flavours of rich vanilla layered with dark tobacco and ripe cherry.

Other reviews... "High aged, high proof, and full of flavor, this year’s George T. Stagg is downright incredibly delicious." - breakingbourbon.com

"After having a taste of this, my desire to hunt down a bottle was multiplied tenfold. I am grateful to have done so since then, and this enabled a deeper understanding of the inherent quality of this incredible bourbon. Comparing this pour to the 2024 George T. Stagg tells me everything I need to know. The 2025 release is better in every way, unless you are looking for a bit of that punchiness. If you like a whiskey that smacks you around a little bit, the 2024 is going to do that a bit better. As far as depth of flavor, evolution through complexity, and refined elegance, the 2025 bottling of George T. Stagg is a perfect whiskey in every way. This just might be the bourbon of the year." - Nick Anderson, Amongst The Whiskey (5/5)
