LOT 0749
George T. Stagg
Uncut and unfiltered
Acquired August 2026
Sell your William Larue Weller, or any of its four siblings.
The barrel-proof wheater that anchors Buffalo Trace's Antique Collection, and the bottle Weller collectors call the summit. This page covers all five of the fall release: William Larue, George T. Stagg, Thomas H. Handy, Eagle Rare 17, and Sazerac 18. One of them or a whole year's set, the answer is yes, we're interested.
How we price the Antique Collection.
Five bottles, one release, and no two priced alike. Which of the five you hold matters, the release year printed on the back label matters, and a complete year set is worth more than its five bottles sold separately. Layer in condition and where collector attention sits this season, and a printed grid would mislead more than it helped.
We'd rather look and tell you. Send the labels through the form, front and back, and we'll walk the bottles together from there. The quote names your exact release, and it costs you nothing.

All five, plus the trophies.
- William Larue Weller, any release year
- George T. Stagg and Thomas H. Handy
- Eagle Rare 17 and Sazerac 18
- Complete year sets, which get set pricing rather than bottle math
- Older vintages, with or without their boxes
Not on this page's list.
- The standard Buffalo Trace shelf lineup, which shares the distillery but not the scarcity
- Opened or fill-compromised bottles
- Reseal jobs; this collection gets counterfeited enough that we check closures carefully
Antique Collection answers.
Do you buy single BTAC bottles, or do I need the full set?
Singles, absolutely. Most Antique Collection bottles reach us alone, orphaned from sets that were opened or shared years ago. A complete year set is a bigger conversation with pricing of its own, so mention it if you're holding all five from one fall, but one bottle is plenty of reason to write in.
How do I tell which year my bottle is from?
The back label carries the release details across the whole collection, and each bottle's stats narrow it further, since the proofs change year to year. Photograph the back label along with the front and we'll pin the vintage down as part of the quote. You aren't asked to guess, so guessing wrong isn't a thing that can happen.
Which of the five is the most valuable?
It moves. William Larue Weller and Stagg tend to draw the loudest demand, but a storied year of any of the five can jump the queue, and condition reshuffles everything again. That's a live question we answer bottle by bottle, not a ranking we could print and still stand behind next season.
Is William Larue Weller the same as regular Weller?
Same wheated DNA, very different bottle. William Larue is uncut and unfiltered, released once a year through the Antique Collection rather than the regular lineup, and collectors treat it as the pinnacle of the Weller family. If your label says William Larue, you're on the right page; the rest of the family lives on our Weller page.
