Nearly Two Decades of Maturation

This release rests in seasoned American oak for close to twenty years. During that time, Kentucky’s warm summers and cool winters draw the spirit deep into the barrel. As a result, Eagle Rare develops a rich amber color and a complexity that younger bourbons cannot match. Each year of aging adds layers of flavor while preserving a remarkably balanced character.

A Captivating Tasting Profile

From the first pour, inviting aromas of dark cherry, vanilla, and toasted oak rise from the glass. Next, notes of caramel, cocoa, and sweet tobacco unfold across the palate. Hints of baking spice and dried fruit follow, adding depth and warmth. Because it is bottled at 90 proof, the mouthfeel remains silky and approachable, allowing every nuance to shine. Finally, a long finish of oak, toffee, and gentle spice lingers gracefully. Get Eagle Rare 17 Year Old 2008
