EAGLE RARE 17 ans 2020

An Eagle Rare 17 Year Old bottled in 2020 for the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, an annual range featuring three bourbons (William Larue Weller, George T. Stagg and Eagle Rare) and two rye whiskeys (Sazerac and Thomas H. Handy). The Eagle Rare brand was launched by Seagram in 1975, inspired by Wild Turkey’’s success. At the time the bourbon was produced at Four Roses using Charles L. Beam’’s recipe. The brand was sold to the Sazerac group at the same time as Benchmark in the 1980s. Production was then moved to Heaven Hill, followed by Buffalo Trace from 1992. The 17 year old joined the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection in 2000. It is made from bourbon distilled at George T. Stagg, the distillery today known as Buffalo Trace.
