Stagg Barrel Proof 63.9% Batch #23B 75cl

Stagg is named after George T. Stagg, an icon in the history of American whisky. The Stagg range is known for its high alcohol content and untamed strength, bottled straight from the barrel without any dilution. These whiskies are the raw, pure result of years of maturation in new charred oak casks, just the way it should be.
