BTAC Eagle Rare 17 Years Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Eagle Rare 17 Years Old, part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon that has matured in oak barrels for nearly two decades. This bourbon is notable for its longevity and its exceptional quality, making it available only in small quantities each fall.

The 2023 release of Eagle Rare 17 Year is particularly notable for being the oldest Eagle Rare ever in the Antique Collection (19 years and 3 months). It's distinguished by its complex aroma, and the palate's emphasis on spice and aged oak, combined with a unique "dusty" characteristic that's reminiscent of much older bourbons. This bourbon is a refined example of high-aged bourbon excellence.

The fragrant aroma has almost a wine-like character with hints of almond, cigar boxes, and cinnamon. The delicate and dry mid-palate tastes of leather, vanilla, and tobacco. This bourbon lingers, finishing with a hint of leather and toffee.
