Eagle Rare 17 Year Old (2017 Release) 75cl Whisky

Eagle Rare is a reliably delicious bourbon, but every year, Buffalo Trace releases a 17 year old edition of Eagle Rare as part of their Antique Collection - and it’s always astounding stuff. This is the 2017 bottling of Eagle Rare 17 Year Old, bottled at 45% ABV - the folks from Buffalo Trace say to look out for notes of “Oak, tobacco, toffee, and vanilla”.

See the rest of the 2017 releases here.

As per 2016, we will be splitting our 2017 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection allocation between a dram lottery, bottle lottery and auction, raising funds for our chosen charity, Malaria No More UK.

Why are we doing all this? Been limbering up and fancied your chances in a fastest-finger-first bun fight? What's the point of all this anyway?! Have a read of our blog post on the matter.

Please note: On the back of the lottery bottles we'll be adding the message “I, [your lucky winning name], hereby swear not to sell this bottle – but to drink it with my chums. May my taste-buds and olfactory bulb shrivel and die if I should break my word.”
