George T. Stagg Vertical
Part of Buffalo Trace's coveted Antique Selection, we will compare three unique releases of George T. Stagg side by side.

This tasting is for all lovers of fine and rare bourbon, or anyone who wants to explore the flavor nuances of the category.
Twenty dollar deposit is non-refundable and will be deducted from the total price, which is TBD. Reserve your spot here.
