Eagle Rare 12 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)
Kentucky, UNITED STATES
Launched in mid 2025, Eagle Rare's latest addition to the age-statement Bourbon category is summed up as a beautiful iteration of an already fantastic and reliable whiskey. Bottled at a solid proof and landing at a very reasonable price point, expect a creamier mouthfeel and slightly more "oomph" than the 10-year old. 47.5% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... A new permanent fixture in the Eagle Rare lineup. Honey, clove, and whipped cream, anchored by earthy oak on a very aromatic nose. This has a velvety smooth and soft texture; a deliciously gooey palate of honeyed almonds, buttered French toast, raspberry jam, and a bite of pepper spice. Long and delicious on the finish of vanilla ice cream drizzled with honey. Good body, full-flavored, and delicious. 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...Eagle Rare 12 Year Bourbon offers a familiar yet slightly tweaked profile compared to its 10 Year counterpart, featuring more prominent oak and baking spices notes, with an excellent warm brown sugar note that many won’t be able to resist. Though what it offers beyond the 10 Year bourbon isn’t revolutionary, it’s a better product that could easily become a staple in anyone’s collection. Even beyond that, Eagle Rare 12 Year Bourbon is a further glimpse inside the Buffalo Trace rickhouse and an opportunity to get to know their breadth of bourbon a little better with every new release. - breakingbourbon.com
