Eagle Rare 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 45% ABV | 90 Proof | 750mL | 10 Years | Frankfort, Kentucky | Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 | Small Batch
Process & Profile
Eagle Rare 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a celebrated 10-year-old bourbon produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Aged for a full decade, Eagle Rare develops a mature balance of caramelized sweetness, fruit, leather, oak, and cocoa while maintaining an approachable 90-proof strength.
Buffalo Trace identifies Eagle Rare as using its Mash Bill #1, the distillery’s lower-rye bourbon recipe, although the exact grain percentages are not publicly disclosed by the producer. Barrels are carefully selected and combined in small batches to maintain the recognizable Eagle Rare profile while allowing the character developed during long maturation to remain prominent.
The result is a complex yet balanced bourbon with toffee, orange peel, herbs, honey, leather, oak, candied almonds, and rich cocoa, followed by a dry and lingering finish.

This was a birthday gift for my son-in-law who told me he liked Eagle rare, but could never get it and I told him I would find a way to get it, it was a bet and you saw me through it! It was wrapped very well, so it wouldn’t break and handled well! If I could send a picture, he has it sitting out on the patio with a notation a gift from my favorite mother-in-law lol. Thank you employees of.Barrel Tap. you made two people happy me and him.
James –
Fantastic bottles to gift for a retirement
David –

Robert Nicolodi –
Order Finally Arrived
I completely understand that the winter weather delayed my order and the issues with the carrier are not the fault of Barrel Tap. The order finally arrived today and it is exactly as advertised. The issue I had was with Barrel tap sending me message after message wanting me to give a review claiming the order had been fulfilled, while the order was still lost somewhere with the carrier, and they knew it. Even their site showed the order fulfilled. I tried calling a dozen times, during working hours and left several messages as no one ever picked up the phone.
Cassandra –
I bought this for my husband and he LOVES it. Very smooth.
