Title:
Orphan Barrel Lost Prophet 22 yr
Description:
Yes, it was distilled at the former George T. Stagg Distillery. Ever wondered what an ultra-aged Stagg would taste like? This is your chance. Is Stagg and Lost Prophet identical mash bill from the same distillery? For obvious reasons this will never be officially confirmed but looking at the circumstantial evidence I’d say it’s pretty clear. Lost Prophet was distilled in 1991 while the George T. Stagg (GTS) Distillery was still owned by Schenley (which was owned by Guinness P.L.C. who later became Diageo). The GTS Distillery was sold to the Sazerac Company in 1992 and they changed the name to Buffalo Trace Distillery in 1999.
In 2002 Buffalo Trace added George T. Stagg bourbon to the Antique Collection. George T. Stagg is an uncut unfiltered 15-16 year old bourbon which was obviously sourced from bourbon acquired in the purchase of the GTS Distillery. What’s interesting is there is one year of distillation missing from the early George T. Stagg releases (between the 2006 and 2007 release). Yes, there is no George T. Stagg release that was distilled in 1991. That would make Lost Prophet mash bill #1 from Buffalo Trace. Obviously it was aged at a different location so it’s not a direct comparison. Orphan Barrel Lost Prophet is 22 year old juice from the George T Stagg distillery and it is NOT pappy juice. Pappy comes from BT’s wheated mashbill and this contains no wheat. This is BT’s traditional mashbill and is what’s in the George T Stagg and Eagle Rare releases. If you’re looking for a comparison it would be closer to what you get in the BTAC releases of those two than it would be anything else. Prophet is older Eagle Rare.
I like the Orphan Barrel Lost Prophet quite a bit and it tastes and smells strikingly similar to Eagle Rare which should be no surprise knowing where the barrel came from. I love the big sweet woody, fruity and spicy nose and palate, but the finish falls a little flat for me and what kept it out of the 90s. If you like big woody bourbons with a mild rye influence then you’re probably going to like this one.
