George T. Stagg was one of the legendary craftsmen of Buffalo Trace Distillery, and is responsible for building the operation. In 2002, the distillery introduced George T. Stagg Bourbon which subsequently won numerous awards including World’s Best North American Whiskey, Number One Spirit in the World, and World Whiskey of the Year.Buffalo Trace has now released a younger, more "accessible" version of their award winning bourbon, named "Stagg Junior". Each batch is a similarly unfettered, unfiltered, uncut, brawny effort that's bound to excite devotees of hardcore American wood aged spirits and is comprised of barrels aged roughly for eight and nine years.
