Stagg stands as one of American bourbon’s most powerful and uncompromising expressions — a whiskey that wears its strength proudly but never forgets nuance. Each release is bottled straight from barrel, retaining full proof and maximum intensity. The 2024-era batches continue the lineage: big, concentrated, and unapologetically bold.

From the moment the glass touches your nose, Stagg draws you in with deep aromas of toasted oak, dark chocolate, molasses sweetness and a hint of smoke. Underneath, there’s a softer undertow of dried cherries and leather that adds depth. On the palate, expect a lush cascade of caramel, brown sugar and dark fruit, edged by racy rye spice and rich oak warmth. The mouthfeel is dense and enveloping — warm, chewy and intense. The finish lingers: long, charred wood, tobacco leaf, black pepper and a slow fade of sweet oak.
