Stagg Jr Kentucky Straight Bourbon Batch 2 128.7 Proof

128.7 proof. The second batch. Stagg Jr Batch 2 — an early series edition from before the program achieved its current collector status. Uncut. Unfiltered.

Batch 2 at 128.7 proof represents the Stagg Jr series in its early period — the founding batch established the program, and Batch 2 confirmed it as a viable annual release. These early batches are significantly rarer than later ones simply because they were produced in lower quantities before demand had developed. 128.7 proof is in the standard Stagg Jr range but with the full uncut intensity that makes the series compelling.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Chocolate, brown sugar, caramel, and bold rye spice — the Stagg Jr signature at 128.7 proof intensity.

• Finish: Long — cherries, cloves, and smoke.
