George T. Stagg was a 19th-century Kentucky distiller and businessman born December 19, 1835, in Garrard County, Kentucky. He purchased the O.F.C. Distillery in 1878, later served as president of E.H. Taylor, Jr. & Co. alongside Taylor, and helped build the enterprise into one of the leading bourbon producers of its era.
