George T. Stagg 2025 (142.8 Proof): The 15-Year Barrel Proof Titan
The undisputed titan of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC) has arrived. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for the world's most sought-after spirits, is honored to present the George T. Stagg 2025 Release. This is a bourbon that defines power, age, and intensity.
This is a true "Hazmat" level bourbon, bottled at a staggering, uncut, and unfiltered 142.8 proof (71.4% ABV). This 2025 release is a 15-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon, distilled in a single spring season of 2010 and bottled in the fall of 2025.
For 15 years, this bourbon has rested in new charred American oak, enduring the harsh Kentucky climate to forge a spirit of incredible depth and complexity. It is a raw, powerful, and unadulterated experience, bottled straight from the barrel just as George T. Stagg himself would have wanted.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A profound and rich bouquet of dark chocolate, black cherries, and thick molasses, all layered with sophisticated notes of seasoned oak, aged leather, and a hint of pipe tobacco.
Palate: A massive, viscous, and explosive palate. The 142.8 proof delivers a powerful wave of "Stagg heat" that carries complex notes of burnt brown sugar, espresso bean, and dark fruit jam, all perfectly balanced by a deep, tannic oak structure.
Finish: An almost endless finish. The legendary "Kentucky Hug" is in full effect, lingering with notes of spicy tobacco, dark chocolate, and a final, satisfying, smoky char.
This is the centerpiece of the 2025 Antique Collection and one of the most powerful bourbons released this year. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this highly allocated masterpiece. Add this legendary bottle to your collection.
