A bottle of the 2019 release of Eagle Rare 17-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon, one of the most popular of Buffalo Trace distillery's Antique Collection annual releases of prestige American whiskeys. This edition was awarded 'Best in Category' at the Los Angeles Spirits Competition.
This Eagle Rare 17-year-old is from the 2002 vintage and was bottled in 2019 at 101 Proof / 50.5% in tribute to the original Eagle Rare brand bourbon which was launched at 101 proof in 1974 by the Old Prentice distillery (now known as Four Roses). Buffalo Trace's owners Sazerac Company took over the Eagle Rare brand from Seagram in 1989. A glorious long-aged high strength bourbon, Eagle Rare is like a slightly toned-down, more elegant version of the mighty George T. Stagg.

This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
