Stagg Fall 2005 — among the highest-proof GTS vintages in the Wooden Cork collection, and one of the two 2005 dual-release expressions from the BTAC program's fifth year.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAt 141.2 proof, the 2005 Fall GTS is among the most powerful expressions in the current vertical collection — behind only the 2016's all-time record of 144.1, and matching the 2008 (141.8) and 2011 (142.6) in the high-proof tier. In a year when Buffalo Trace produced both a Spring (131.8 proof) and Fall (141.2 proof) GTS release, the Fall's 9.4-proof gap above the Spring demonstrates the dramatic variation possible between two barrel selections from the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNow over two decades from its original distribution, the 2005 Fall occupies the oldest tier of the current Wooden Cork GTS collection alongside the 2005 Spring — two documented perspectives on the same year's Buffalo Trace high-rye production at two dramatically different natural proof points.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark chocolate, brown sugar, and bold rye spice at 141.2 proof — one of the most powerful GTS noses in the current collection.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerful and concentrated — maximum Buffalo Trace high-rye intensity from a vintage two decades old.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extraordinarily long — dried cherry, cloves, and smoke at high-proof duration.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 141.2 (70.6% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uncut, unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005 BTAC Fall Release\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExplore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/george-t-stagg\"\u003eGeorge T.
