Some of Buffalo Trace’s best Bourbon that tastes like it was poured right from cask-to-glass.

Some argue, but since the original distillery building on this site dates from 1775, most folks consider Buffalo Trace Distillery to be the oldest continually operating distillery in the US. It sits on the banks of the Ohio River in Frankfort, Kentucky, on the same 150 acres — completing 245 years of continuous operation. It even used the: "medicinal" loophole to operate during Prohibition. Now owned by Sazerac, it’s history includes a veritable Who’s-Who of historic Bourbon owners and Master Distillers who continue today to craft some of the finest and most popular Whiskey brands in America.

The George T. Stagg line of Bourbons is named after one of the most famous owners and master distillers in the Buffalo Trace lineage. And it is one of their top-line Spirits. As the name would imply, Stagg Jr. is cut from the same cloth, but a few years younger on average. Stagg Jr. Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch 8 can be hard to quantify for those same reasons. As a barrel proof, it is delivered uncut and completely unfiltered. So the ABV/proof and nuances of the flavor profile will vary from batch-to-batch. And Batch 8 is a real winner clocking in at a blistering 64.75% ABV of awesome — so we recommend a splash of water or a single cocktail cube to open things up.

It’s like cracking open a private cask in the rickhouse all for yourself.

Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.

Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Sure, Kentucky gets all the press when it comes to Bourbon. And with good reason—nearly 95% of it is produced there. But Bourbon can be made anywhere as long as it's within the United States. Just ask states with budding distilleries like Illinois and New York.
