Eagle Rare 10 Year: Why It Is Allocated and How to Get It
May 20255 min readBourbon Guide
Eagle Rare 10 Year is one of the best-value allocated bourbons in America.
What Is Eagle Rare?
Eagle Rare is a single barrel, 10-year-aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery. Each barrel is selected individually at peak maturity.
Why Is It Hard to Find?
Buffalo Trace allocates Eagle Rare alongside Blanton's and Pappy. Production is limited by how many 10-year barrels meet the distillery's standards each year.
Tasting Notes
Bold, dry and complex. Orange peel, herbs, honey and leather. Long satisfying finish at 45% ABV.
Price and Value
MSRP around $37.99 — extraordinary value for a 10-year single barrel bourbon. On the secondary market it often sells for 2-3x retail.
