Part of Buffalo Trace's 2023 Antique Collection, here we have the annual release of its extremely desirable Eagle Rare 17 Year Old bourbon. Distilled in Spring 2004, this one was treated to a generous maturation, exceeding its 17 year age statement and remaining in cask until Autumn 2023 – 19 years and three months in total. During that time, the Buffalo Trace folks report that an eye-watering 78% of the original spirit was lost to evaporation. Rare stuff indeed.
This bottle was part of a private collection and will show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Dark chocolate and cherry pie filling.
Well-balanced flavour of caramel-drizzled chocolate sponge cake.
Dry and spicy with an earthy, cigar box finish.
