Eagle Rare is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, famous for its rich taste and complex character. Made by the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, it's part of a range of high-quality spirits.
Seagram Company first launched Eagle Rare in the 1970s. After several ownership changes, it joined the Buffalo Trace brands. Despite these changes, its quality and reputation have stayed high. The brand has won many awards over the years.
Eagle Rare ages its standard bourbon for 10 years, longer than many others. It ages in charred American oak barrels. This gives the whiskey deep, woody flavours and a rich amber colour. The ageing adds complex tastes like toffee, orange peel, herbs, honey, leather, and oak. The finish is long, smooth, and a bit sweet.
The whiskey stands out for its balance of sweetness and oakiness. It's great for drinking neat, on the rocks, or in high-quality cocktails.
A special product is the Eagle Rare 17 Year Old. Part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, it's rare and valued for its smoothness and deep flavour.
Another unique version is "Double Eagle Very Rare." This premium whiskey comes in a crystal decanter and box. It's extremely rare and represents the brand's top offering.
The brand's logo features a bald eagle, symbolising American freedom and boldness. Eagle Rare is known for its American craftsmanship and quality in bourbon whiskey.
