Eagle Rare 17 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a highly sought-after bourbon released annually in very limited quantities as part of the prestigious Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Aged in oak barrels for nearly two decades, this exceptional bourbon showcases the mastery of aging and blending from Buffalo Trace Distillery.

This bourbon presents a beautifully balanced profile with dry, delicate notes featuring hints of corn sweetness, leather, vanilla, and tobacco. The mid-palate reveals complex layers of oak, spice, and subtle rye character, while the finish lingers with hints of leather and toffee. Originally created in 1975 by Charles L. Beam, grand nephew to Jim Beam, Eagle Rare has been produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery since 1989.

The 17 Year expression represents one of the rarest bourbon releases available, with production limited to annual fall releases. Each bottle is bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV) in a 750ml bottle. Best enjoyed from a snifter to appreciate its delicate complexity and oak-forward character developed over 17 years of aging. This is a true collector's piece commanding secondary market prices of $2,000-$4,000, far above its MSRP of approximately $100.
