About this bottle

Stagg Barrel Proof Batch 25C Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a cask strength bourbon from Kentucky, United States in our whiskey range. It is bottled at 62.8% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Dark caramel, black cherry, and vanilla layered with toasted oak and baking spice. Subtle cocoa and leather notes emerge with time; on the palate: Full-bodied and intense with molasses, brown sugar, and dark chocolate. Cinnamon, charred oak, and ripe dark fruit provide depth and structure; finish: Long, warm, and persistent. Lingering caramel, spice, and mature oak slowly fade with impressive strength and balance.

Serving & pairing

Try it neat or with a single large ice cube. Bourbon’s caramel and vanilla sit well beside pecan pie, barbecue and aged cheddar.

What makes a whiskey a bourbon?

US law requires bourbon to be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn, distilled to no more than 80% ABV, aged in new charred oak containers, entered into the barrel at no more than 62.5% ABV and bottled at 40% ABV or more. “Straight” bourbon has been aged at least two years with no added colouring or flavouring.

Whisky club

Cask strength, labelled as such.

“ABV and proof on the card, so I knew I was buying 58 percent and could plan the water. Big, oily, brilliant. Exactly what Spirit Hives said it was.”
Neil D.Cask-strength bourbon
A treat

Japanese whisky I could actually pay for.

“I lined up three blends, saw the sizes and the prices, and picked the 700 ml I could afford. Spirit Hives did not hide the cost. No regrets.”
Ken A.Japanese blended whisky
Wishlist haul

Saved three, bought three.

“A month of adding bottles to the Spirit Hives wishlist, then I checked out the three I kept opening. Sherried Speyside, a rye, a Rioja. All three matched the page.”
Matej N.Three bottles
Rare find

The bottle my town does not stock.

“Spirit Hives had the small-batch bourbon I had only ever seen on holiday. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was on the table for Sunday. That is why I came back.”
