Overview

• Buffalo Trace released the 2025 BTAC, adding E.H. Taylor Bottled‑in‑Bond to the long‑standing set for a total of six expressions.
• The lineup includes: E.H. Taylor Bottled‑in‑Bond (15 years, 4 months; 100 proof), George T. Stagg (15 years, 4 months; 142.8 proof), William Larue Weller (14 years; 129 proof), Eagle Rare 17 (18 years, 4 months; 101 proof), Thomas H. Handy (just over 6 years; 129.8 proof), and Sazerac 18 (18 years, 5 months; 90 proof).
• George T. Stagg’s 142.8 proof exceeds the FAA’s 140‑proof hazardous‑materials threshold, restricting commercial air cargo transport.
• Bottles carry a suggested retail price of about $150 and roll out this month, while secondary‑market listings commonly reach four figures; a limited allocation is available for direct purchase via Legacy De Forge.
• E.H. Taylor is the first new BTAC addition in 19 years and meets bottled‑in‑bond standards, while Thomas H. Handy’s 129.8 proof is slightly higher than the 2024 release.
