History in the Making
Eagle Rare Bourbon hails from the Buffalo Trace Distillery. The Buffalo Trace Distillery (under various names) hails back to as early as 1771. The distillery itself has survived numerous setbacks. These include, but are not limited to, floods, fires, lightning strikes, and Prohibition itself. Eagle Rare Bourbon is truly born from chaotic times. It’s a phoenix rising from the ashes, just like the story of its “2022 Global Distiller of the Year” recipient distillery.
Eagle Rare Bourbon is carefully crafted and masterfully distilled. Aged for no less than 10 years, this bourbon will be a tastebud pleaser for even the most sophisticated palates. This bourbon is not just a beverage, but an experience. Every barrel is carefully selected to offer consistent flavor while boasting an individualized taste profile to every bottle. Eagle Rare’s mash consists of 75 percent corn, 10 percent rye, and 15 percent barley. This bourbon is intense, colorful, and expressive while remaining refined, almost like a dry wine. The nose is quite complex and opens with notes of honey, toffee, oak, leather, and even a hint of toasted marshmallow. The taste is dry and sweet; lingering notes of cocoa and candy almonds leave your mouth watering. And its sophisticated smoky aftertaste will have you wanting more. This premium bourbon is reasonably priced, coming in from $30-$40, and can be found at common retail stores like Costco.

A Decadent Delight

“Eagle Rare is a bourbon that lives up to its name with its lofty, distinctive taste experience. Reminiscent of candied apple on the nose and also showing baked sour cherry, citrus pith with a hint of toasted oak. In the mouth, it is wonderfully rounded with cinnamon, stone fruits, and brown sugar stepping forward. The finish is decadent, deep, and alludes to the baked sour cherry that is sensed on the nose. Pick yours up today!” -- @wooden_cork
Not for Everyone

“Eagle rare night! It is a good bourbon but I don’t understand the hype that has been built up around it. It doesn’t have enough complexity for me to want to pay more than retail. It is a good bourbon but nothing extraordinary in my opinion. What do you guys think about eagle rare?” -- @pappyfinder

“A cold night makes for a nice warm @eaglerarebourbon cocktail! A little drip of honey, a little dab of lemon juice, a smidge of hot water, and some eagle rare will warm you right up!” -- @bourbonagent
Eagle Rare is a bourbon that is not for everyone, though we can say that pretty much about every bourbon out there. This bourbon seems to have a cult classic air to it that makes it sought after, but not always favored by everyone. From summer to winter, sipping on this sweet, dry bourbon is the perfect complement to a day out on the boat or cozying up to a crackling fireplace. Our takeaway from researching this rare bourbon: try it. With its reasonable price and agreeable taste profile, it’s worth a shot (no pun intended). Have you tried Eagle Rare Bourbon before? Would you recommend it to your friends?
