Unleash the raw power of Buffalo Trace with **Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Batch 25C**. Released in Winter 2025, this highly anticipated batch continues the legacy of the "Stagg Jr." line, offering an uncut, unfiltered experience that is unapologetically bold. Bottled at a robust **125.6 Proof (62.8% ABV)**, Batch 25C is already being hailed as the standout release of the 2025 lineup, delivering a level of elegance and complexity that rivals its older sibling in the Antique Collection.
Aged for roughly 8-9 years in new charred American oak, this release showcases the classic Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 (low rye). It opens with intense aromas of **rich caramel, dark chocolate, and molasses**, quickly evolving into a palate packed with **brown sugar, roasted nuts, and vanilla**. Unlike some hotter batches, 25C is celebrated for its surprising smoothness, balancing its high proof with deep fruit notes of dark cherry and fig.
