Eagle Rare Whiskey

Eagle Rare was born in 1975 at Seagram, during a period when many American brands borrowed names from the nation's symbols. The whiskey later found its true home at Buffalo Trace, where it's now matured for at least ten years - unusually long for a bourbon in its price bracket. It's a dram built on patience, in a category where most competitors are far younger.

About Eagle Rare

Eagle Rare is a 10-year-old single barrel bourbon from Buffalo Trace, originally launched by Seagram in 1975. For a newcomer, it's a full-bodied, oak-driven, gently spiced bourbon; for the connoisseur, Eagle Rare stands out for its long maturation at an accessible price - at a time when demand for Buffalo Trace's most exclusive releases has driven prices skyward, Eagle Rare remains one of the last relatively attainable windows into the house's quality.
