The Elemental Distinction

Winter 1993. The distillation season on the sheet, shared with the 2011 release.

Floors 1–5, 8 and 9. Seven floor numbers across H, I, K and L supplied the barrels.

Less lost. Its 48.43% evaporation loss is lower than the 2008 release's 50.07% and the 57.83% recorded for 2011.

1.2 points up on 2008. 143 proof on the fact sheet and 143.0 on the front label, against 141.8 for the 2008 release.

Two years and a month older. Its 17 years and 7 months at bottling compare with 15 years and 6 months for the 2008.

The Name on the Label

George T. Stagg, born 1835

George T. Stagg was born on December 19, 1835, in Garrard County, Kentucky, according to Buffalo Trace's biography of him. He served in the Union Army during the Civil War, rising to captain, sold whiskey in St. Louis afterward, and became president of E.H. Taylor, Jr. & Co., the firm he formed with E.H. Taylor, Jr. The Frankfort distillery later carried Stagg's name, and in 1999 it was renamed Buffalo Trace.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Buffalo Trace's 2010 note

Sensory Profile

Vanilla and coffee join dark chocolate in the 2010 fact sheet's comment, “Dark chocolate, vanilla and coffee”; the 2011, from the same winter 1993 distillation, was written up as “Espresso, chocolate, and vanilla” a year later.

Strategic Position

Two years earlier came the 83-barrel bottling of 2008, from spring 1993 whiskey in two warehouses; a year later, the 2011 release of the same winter 1993 whiskey, ten months older at bottling. Also among Buffalo Trace's fall 2010 releases was the Weller distilled in summer 1998, a 126.6-proof bottling.
