Eagle Rare is an American bourbon brand with roots going back to 1975, when Master Distiller Charles "Chuck" Lloyd Beam introduced it at Seagram's Four Roses Distillery. Originally launched as Eagle Rare 10 Year at 101-proof, the brand was conceived as a way to reintroduce bourbon as a luxury spirit. In 1989, Sazerac acquired the brand from Seagram and moved production to the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, where it has been crafted ever since. Under Buffalo Trace's stewardship, Eagle Rare was refined into a smoother, 90-proof expression. Today, Eagle Rare is celebrated for its flagship 10 Year Single Barrel bourbon — a rich, complex whiskey that showcases the craftsmanship of Buffalo Trace. Each barrel is individually selected, meaning every bottle offers a subtly unique experience. The portfolio also extends into the ultra-premium segment with Eagle Rare 17 Year Old, which is part of Buffalo Trace's coveted Antique Collection — a highly sought-after annual release of super-premium American whiskeys. Eagle Rare 25 Year Old represents the pinnacle of the range, offering extraordinary depth and maturity. Eagle Rare has earned a strong reputation among bourbon enthusiasts worldwide, prized for its balance of accessibility and complexity. Its inclusion in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection has elevated its status to one of the most desirable expressions in American whiskey.
