George T. Stagg is a limited-production bourbon whiskey distributed by Buffalo Trace Distillery, as part of the distillery's "Antique Collection " series. It is a high proof uncut and unfiltered bourbon, aged for approximately 15 years. It has been distributed only once a year in the fall, but in 2005 a second spring release was added. It is rare to find outside the U.S., but some is distributed in other major cities. The whiskey has been highly awarded in many spirit ratings competitions and has won best rankings over years in Jim Murrays "Whisky Bible". The San Francisco World Spirits Competition, for example, awarded two gold and two double gold medals to the bourbon between 2005 and 2009.[1]
