******************************************************************************
Stagg Jr. and George T. Stagg are limited release barrel proof products by the Buffalo Trace distillery. We entered this pairing into our blind sample pool because they're the same mashbill (recipe)--George T. Stagg being considerably older (15+ years compared to Stagg Jr's reported 8-9 years of age)--to evaluate how they differ and to see if they stood out as being truly special products when we didn't know what we were tasting.
Stagg Jr. is released twice annually. It is heavily allocated and highly sought after in most markets. George T. Stagg is part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC). It is released once annually and realistically only attainable through store lotteries or raffles due to extreme allocation.
The average person's best bet for trying either of these products is to find a bar that has these bottles and pay for a pour.
