Eagle Rare 17 Year Old 2024 Release Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

"2024’s Eagle Rare 17 Year is everything you could want out of a high aged Kentucky bourbon." - breakingbourbon.com

Other reviews... As ever, a sumptious mix of honeyed vanillas and natural caramels... The mid point climaxes with a gorgeous toasted vanilla spike; the corn oils cling limpet-like to the palate, those massive liquorice notes now combining with toasted brown bread. As the oak becomes increasingly more ingrained and pronounced, this becomes one of the longest Eagle Rare finisihes inthe last five or six years... gone full throttle down the toasty route with startling effect. This is the brand at its most toasty and deep. 95.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2025-2026

...For the limited number of Buffalo Trace Antique Collection fans who are able to get their hands on a bottle, Eagle Rare 17 Year is rarely the first choice, and arguably so. It’s been far less consistent than William Larue Weller, and it doesn’t offer the intense blast of flavor that the typical “put-hair-on-your-chest” proof point George T. Stagg typically delivers. However, this year’s Eagle Rare 17 Year is a near perfect example of what high aged, moderately proofed quintessential Kentucky bourbon should taste like, and it should be near the top of everyone’s BTAC wish list. - breakingbourbon.com

A star of the annual lineup. Minty on the nose with soft spearmint and pine, plus earthy oak, subtle cherry, and sweet creamed corn. On the palate, its soft sweetness is balanced by pepper spice, with cherry pie, strawberry jam, and baking spice notes of brown sugar and cinnamon. A long, delicious finish with balanced dark-fruit sweetness, cocoa powder, coffee, and chocolate, checked by the earthy oak.  92 points - whiskyadvocate.com
