Eagle Rare 17 Year Old (2025 Release)
Eagle Rare 17 Year Old (2025 Release) 101 Proof / 50.5% ABV is a flagship, long-aged Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace, released in recognition of the original Eagle Rare brand first launched in 1975. For this annual vintage, Buffalo Trace’s distillers hand-select their finest barrels to create a bourbon that balances mature oak depth with lifted fruit, spice, and a polished, resonant finish.
Aged beyond its 17-year statement, maturing for 18 years and 4 months. The 2025 release opens with dark tobacco and well-worn leather, brightened by ripe cherry and a lively peppery edge. The palate brings caramel sweetness alongside supple leather and cherry notes, before a smooth, lingering finish of lasting oak, vanilla, and a gentle echo of sweetness. (Last year’s vintage received a Double Platinum award at the 2025 ASCOT Awards.)
