Stagg Barrel Batch 23C Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

A powerful barrel-proof release from the Stagg line, Batch 23C represents one of the lowest-proof modern batches while maintaining the brand’s signature intensity. Despite the slightly lower proof compared to earlier batches, it remains deeply concentrated and full-bodied. This release balances bold sweetness, rich oak structure, and refined spice, making it both approachable and serious. It stands out as a nuanced expression within a famously uncompromising series.

Distillery Information

Stagg is produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, one of America’s oldest continuously operating distilleries with roots dating back to the late 1700s. Named after George T. Stagg, a key historical figure who helped expand the distillery in the 19th century, the brand represents uncompromising barrel-proof bourbon. Unlike diluted releases, Stagg is bottled at full barrel strength to preserve its natural intensity and flavor concentration. Each batch varies slightly, reflecting barrel selection and aging conditions. Over time, Stagg has become one of the most respected barrel-proof bourbons among collectors and enthusiasts. Batch 23C continues this legacy, offering depth, richness, and authenticity in its purest form.
