Eagle Rare 17 & George T Stagg Comparison
I picked up a couple of bottles of the Eagle Rare 17 and received a fact sheet similar to what mshade posted for the George T Stagg, which I love.
I found it interesting that there is not a lot of differences between the two. Below is the fact sheet of The Stagg with difference from the ER17 in red Distiller Buffalo Trace Distillery, Franklin County, Kentucky Age Profile Year of Distillation: Spring of 1992 1988 Release: Fall of 2007 Release Brand name: George T. Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Eagle Rare 17 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Proof for release: 144.8 90.0 Recipe Large Grain: Kentucky Corn; Distillers Grade #1 and #2 Small Grain: Minnesota Rye Finish Grain: North Dakota Malted Barley Cooking/Fermentation Milling screen: #10 Cook Temperature: 240 degrees Fahrenheit Water: Kentucky Limestone with Reverse Osmosis Fermentation: Carbon Steel / Black Iron fermenter Mash: Sour Distillation & Aging Distillation: Double Distilled; beer still and doubler Proof off still: 135 Proof Barrel: New, White Oak; #4 Char; Charred for 55 seconds Barrel maker: Independent Stave; Lebanon KY Barrel entry proof: 125 proof Barrel size: 53 liquid gallons; 66.25 Original Proof Gallons Warehouse: Warehouse I Warehouse C Floor: 1st 2nd Evaporation loss: 45.23% of the original whiskey lost to evaporation 70.64% Bottling Barrel selection: 94 hand picked barrels 44 Filtration: None Chill Product Age: 15 years and 6 months old at bottling 19 years Tasting comment: "BIG and RICH" "Delicate body with dry woody finish" It is very good in its own right, but I enjoy the big flavors of The Stagg just a little more.
