George T. Stagg - letter and fact sheet
My local state store gave me the signed letter that is sent to distributors of George T. Stagg from Mark Brown, President and CEO of Buffalo Trace Distillery. In it he describes this years bottling, and on the reverse side he added a fact sheet which I found interesting. Below are the contents of the fact sheet.
