Stagg Batch 25D is a formidable barrel-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Part of the highly sought-after Stagg series, Batch 25D represents the fourth release associated with 2025 and is bottled at an imposing 129.2 proof, equivalent to 64.6% ABV.
Stagg is produced in the uncompromising style that has defined the range: matured in new charred American white oak and bottled uncut and unfiltered, preserving the whiskey at full barrel strength without dilution. No age statement is declared on Batch 25D, with the focus instead placed on mature bourbon character and the individuality of each batch.
At this strength, Batch 25D delivers the concentrated sweetness, oak and spice associated with Stagg, with published tasting descriptions highlighting dark chocolate, brown sugar, toasted oak, black pepper, dark fruit and clove.
Batch variation is a significant part of Stagg's appeal, with enthusiasts often comparing individual releases for differences in proof and flavour profile. Batch 25D's 129.2-proof bottling makes it a particularly powerful expression and an attractive addition for collectors following the series as well as experienced bourbon drinkers seeking whiskey presented without dilution
