With a staggering 89% evaporation loss, what remains is an incredibly refined whiskey with notes of cherry, leather, and sophisticated oak.

This 15-year, 4-month-old Bottled-in-Bond bourbon was distilled in spring 2010. At 100 proof, it’s a perfectly balanced and mature expression of the E.H.

Distillery Information

Eagle Rare originates from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, a historic producer known for shaping many of the most sought-after American whiskey releases. Introduced as part of the Antique Collection, the 17-year variant sits apart from the core Eagle Rare 10-year, showcasing deeper maturity and an elevated profile. Extended aging in carefully selected barrels contributes to its signature balance of sweetness and aged wood complexity. Bottled at a consistent proof each year, the limited release draws annual attention from collectors due to its scarcity and reputation. The 2025 edition continues the brand’s emphasis on precision aging, expressive aroma, and lasting depth.
