The 2025 Eagle Rare 17 Year Old takes the familiar profile of Buffalo Trace Distillery’s Mash Bill #1 into genuinely mature territory. Distilled in spring 2007 and bottled at 18 years and 4 months of age, the whiskey matured in new American white-oak barrels with a #4 char across Warehouses L, Q, K and P, before being bottled at the historically significant strength of 101 proof (50.5% ABV). Dark tobacco, seasoned leather, ripe cherry and pepper lead into caramel sweetness and further layers of leather and fruit, while persistent oak, vanilla and a restrained sweetness shape the finish. Mature and oak-forward without losing its underlying fruit, this limited Buffalo Trace Antique Collection release offers a rare glimpse of classic rye-recipe bourbon after nearly two decades in barrel.

Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery, Eagle Rare is a celebrated Kentucky straight bourbon built around extended maturation and careful barrel selection. The range begins with the classic 10 Year Old and extends into exceptionally limited expressions, including Eagle Rare 17 Year Old from the annual Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and the 20-year-old Double Eagle Very Rare. The 17 Year Old is released in very limited quantities each autumn and bottled at 101 proof in tribute to the original strength of Eagle Rare when the brand launched in 1975. Combining mature oak with the caramel, fruit, tobacco and spice character of Buffalo Trace Distillery’s rye-containing Mash Bill #1, it represents the rarest and most age-driven side of the Eagle Rare house style.
