Eagle Rare 17 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 2022

Eagle Rare 17 year-old is one of the five bourbons included in the award-winning Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. This rare bourbon is released in small quantities once a year in the fall.

“This deep, burnished-gold whiskey has a somewhat fragrant nose and the aromas develop an almost wine-like character, with a hint of almonds lurking in the backdrop. The body is big and silky and the palate is far spicier than the nose leads you to believe, but there are also violet notes here, along with a touch of caramel and a hint of old leather. The finish is very leathery and very long.” -Wine Enthusiast Magazine

The 2022 release of Eagle Rare 17 Year Old is bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV). This bourbon was distilled in the spring of 2005 and aged in Warehouses H, K, and L. It’s described as having aromas of “tobacco, chocolate covered cherries, and a touch of oak,” with “caramel, vanilla bean, dark chocolate, and oak” on the palate, and “a full-bodied finish with baking spice, vanilla and butterscotch.”
