Product Details
About This Bottle
Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Batch 25C is Buffalo Trace Distillery's barrel proof, batch release expression, formerly released as Stagg Jr. until its 2022 rebrand, carrying the name of George T. Stagg, the 19th century figure who built the distillery now bearing his name into one of Kentucky's largest distilling operations. Released in Winter 2025, this batch is aged roughly 8-9 years in new charred American oak using Buffalo Trace's classic Mash Bill #1 (low rye), bottled uncut and unfiltered with no water added and no chill filtration.

Already being called the standout "Goldilocks" release of the 2025 lineup, Batch 25C is praised by reviewers for finding a sweet spot, more approachable than the fiery 25A but richer and more complex than 25B, delivering surprising smoothness at its considerable proof, best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open the aromatics.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Stagg Batch 25C taste like?
Rich caramel and dark chocolate on the nose, with brown sugar, roasted nuts, and dark fruit on the palate, finishing long with tobacco leaf and maple syrup.
Is this the same as George T. Stagg?
No, this is part of the separate Stagg brand (formerly Stagg Jr.), not the annual Buffalo Trace Antique Collection release; it's younger and more accessible but shares the same production DNA.
How does Batch 25C compare to other 2025 batches?
Reviewers consider it the standout of the three major 2025 releases, more balanced than the hotter 25A and richer than 25B.

Orders placed Monday through Thursday are processed and ship within 3–5 business days. Orders placed Friday through Sunday are processed the following Monday. We ship from Coronado, CA via UPS, and tracking is emailed as soon as your order leaves.
Which states do you ship to?
We ship to most US states, but not to Tennessee, US territories, or APO/FPO addresses. Enter your ZIP code at checkout and we will confirm delivery to your address before you pay. Not sure? Email support@estatesliquor.com before ordering.
Do I have to sign for delivery?
Yes. An adult 21 or older with valid government-issued ID must be present to sign. UPS will not leave alcohol unattended.
What happens if I miss the delivery?
UPS attempts delivery up to three times. If all three attempts fail, the package is returned to us and re-shipping costs are the customer's responsibility.
How is the bottle packed?
Wrapped, braced, and boxed in molded inserts built for glass — the same packing whether it is a $35 bottle or a $2,000 one.

What if my order is lost or damaged in transit?
