Everyone loves Eagle Rare. And even when they say they don't, you know they secretly do. The Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Buffalo Trace has long been a reliable house pour and staple that nails it every single time - and yet somehow as of late, BT has really accelerated developing on their Eagle Rare brand.

In 2023, we saw the first extension, the 25 Year Old Eagle Rare, and then in 2024 we got the Double Eagle Very Rare 20 Year Old, and just earlier this year we got word that Eagle Rare was now adding a 12 Year Old as well - and before you know it, we appear to be seeing a 30 Year Old Eagle Rare topping it out! The once humble 10 Year Old Bourbon has now become a full suite of its own! Yet, this still very much retains the accessible Eagle Rare drops, whilst now reaching all the way to the frontiers of hyper ageing - once thought impossible, it's remarkable that we're now seeing a whopping 30 Year Old Eagle Rare!

Eagle Rare Bourbon comes in a mashbill of 71% Corn, 21% Rye and 8% Barley (also known as Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1) - and now we get to see this classic recipe interpreted over a vast range of ages.

The upcoming Eagle Rare 30 Year Old comes very satisfactorily bottles at the historic 101 Proof (or 50.5% ABV).
