About This Bourbon
Stagg Batch 22A is Buffalo Trace's barrel-proof bourbon at full strength: 132.2 proof, or 66.1% ABV, with no water and no filtration.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dark caramel, black cherry and toasted oak, then cocoa and a strong spice prickle.
- Palate: Big and concentrated, with toffee, dark fruit, charred wood and brown sugar; big, but balanced.
- Finish: Very long and warm, with black pepper, oak and bitter chocolate.
Serving & Food
At 66% it needs time and a little water. It stands up to rich food: braised short rib, dark chocolate truffles or a wedge of aged Gouda.
Good to Know
Why the 2022 code on a 2023 release? A labelling delay held 22A back, so 22B came out first.
How strong is it? 132.2 proof, high even by Stagg standards. Add water slowly.
