Stagg Batch 18 Barrel Proof Bourbon is the first release in this acclaimed whiskey lineup following the rebrand from Stagg Jr. Stagg Batch 18 was released in late 2022 and is a punchy yet approachable barrel-proof bourbon that weighs in at a healthy 131 proof (placing it somewhere in the middle of the Stagg range in terms of heat). Composed of Buffalo Trace's mash bill #1 (low rye), this 8-9 year old bourbon offers a profile swimming with sweet cherry, vanilla, cinnamon, and molasses, as well as an oaky cola note alongside the formidable heat for which Stagg's finish is renowned
