Flavor Profile Differences
Barrel influence is the main separator.
- George T. Stagg: The Buffalo Trace Antique Collection's barrel-proof bourbon, around 15 years old. Root beer, dark caramel and charred oak at an enormous proof that changes each year.
- Rebel 100: A budget wheater at a useful proof. Sweet vanilla, honey and caramel with soft bread notes and very little rye bite.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with George T. Stagg if you want the oldest, hottest, most concentrated Buffalo Trace bourbon you can find with significantly more proof behind it.
- Go with Rebel 100 if you want a sweet, 100-proof wheater for mixing and easy sipping at a significantly lower price point and without hunting for it.
Best enjoyed neat (George T. Stagg); rocks, old-fashioned, cocktails (Rebel 100).
