Stagg Barrel Proof isn’t a bourbon you casually sip, it's a force of nature. Batch 24A hits with the raw, unfiltered energy that made the Stagg name legendary. Born from deep-charred Kentucky oak and bottled at uncompromising strength, this is bourbon in its purest, most unapologetic form. Opening the bottle feels like stepping into a rickhouse at full summer heat, where the air is thick with caramel, spice, and oak.
