The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Stagg Jr Barrel Proof Unfiltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey pays tribute to George T. Stagg, whose 19th-century Kentucky distillery helped define what would become known as the Gilded Age of Bourbon. Produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery as part of their celebrated Antique Collection lineage, Stagg Jr is bottled uncut and unfiltered at barrel proof, meaning strength varies slightly from batch to batch.
Expect an intense, high-proof pour with a nose of dark cherry, toasted oak, and brown sugar, leading into a bold palate of caramel, baking spice, and dark fruit, with a long, warming finish that carries plenty of char and tannin. This is a bourbon meant for serious whiskey drinkers who appreciate full-strength, unadulterated flavor.
Because of its intensity, most drinkers add a few drops of water or a single ice cube to open it up, though it's equally at home in a stirred cocktail like an Old Fashioned. Batches of this cult-favorite barrel proof bourbon sell out fast, so shop small-batch bourbon online now at Habits Bottle Shop before this release is gone.
What To Expect In The Glass

Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
