Eagle Rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 12 year 750 ml

Eagle Rare 12 Year takes the refined character of the classic Eagle Rare profile and gives it two additional years of maturation, along with a slight increase in proof. Introduced in 2025 as a permanent addition to the Buffalo Trace lineup, this 12-year expression delivers greater depth, oak influence, and concentration while remaining polished and approachable.

Crafted at Buffalo Trace Distillery from the same low-rye bourbon mash bill associated with Eagle Rare, the whiskey is aged for a minimum of 12 years in new charred American oak before select barrels are blended for consistency and balance.
