*Packaging may vary Stagg Jr. Bourbon Buffalo Trace Hundreds of years ago, the mighty buffalo thundered across the land and carved paths known as traces. One such trace,
the Great Buffalo Trace, led to the rugged banks of what is now known as the Kentucky River. Early adventurers followed the buffalo, and discovered some of Kentucky’s treasures,
rich fertile land excellent for growing grain and abundant limestone waters. Distillation soon followed and in 1787 a working distillery started on the grounds, located in Frankfort, Ky.
The first modern distillery was built on the site in 1857 and incorporated the use of steam power, a major advance in producing high quality bourbon.
The distillery was later purchased by E.H.
Taylor, Jr. one of Kentucky’s original Bourbon aristocrats. Astute and innovative,
Taylor brought advancements to the facility as well as to the entire whiskey industry.
By 1886, the distillery had introduced the nation’s first climate-controlled warehousing for aging whiskey and had earned a worldwide reputation for producing America’s finest bourbons.

Uncut and unfiltered, this robust bourbon whiskey ages for nearly a decade and boasts the bold character that is reminiscent of the man himself.
Nose: Cherry drops, a huge hit of sherry and vanilla. Allspice, runny honey, new oak and some really delicious rum tones.
If the nose continues into the rest of the areas, this will be whisky of the issue.
Palate: A hint of rye, this is spicy with a hint of red fruits, jams, and great oak notes. I’d take this over ice in a dirty downtown bar.
Finish: Spice, cinnamon and oak notes. Delicious.
Comment: The perfect Old Fashion whiskey? Na, just give me this one neat and a dime for the juke box in the corner.
