Where to Buy

THL: What is it?

Eagle Rare is a bourbon that ages for at least ten years. There is a 17-year Eagle Rare on the market, too.

THL: Why should you try it?

Eagle Rare Straight Bourbon Whiskey will transport you to a Kentucky tobacco field on the perfect summer day. It really showcases the charred oak barrels that the whiskey has rested in for 10 years. The smell is simply divine, so take a moment with your nose in the glass before you take a swig.

This hooch has serious pedigree with a consistent flavor and quality to back up the number of shiny gold medals around its neck. It’s easily as good as many whiskeys that are twice the price. Eagle Rare should be a mainstay at your home bar and local haunt. If your bartender hasn’t heard of it, get a bottle, and bring them a taste. You may make a new best friend.

THL: Who makes it?

Buffalo Trace is one of America’s oldest distilleries and a model for the kind of success that follows a commitment to quality, a willingness to experiment, readiness to push boundaries, and bravery to pioneer uncharted territory.

THL: What does it taste like?

wheat bread and butter

THL: How should you drink it?

Treat yourself with a mind-boggling Mint Julep you won't forget.
