Eagle Rare

About

Eagle Rare is the bottle people go looking for after Buffalo Trace stops feeling like enough. Same distillery, same corn-forward house style, but with a ten-year age statement on the label and a price that still lands well under what the secondary market asks. The catch is the same catch: it is allocated, so finding it is harder than liking it. What Eagle Rare Costs The 10 Year 750ml sits at $79.99 here, down from $99.99. Buying in multiples brings the per-bottle figure down, with a 2-pack at $149.99 and a 3-pack at $219.99. Older expressions climb steeply from there: the 12 Year runs $299.99 and the 17 Year is $1,799.99.

Allocation moves pricing, so the number on the product card is the one that counts. Availability and Why It Is Hard to Find Buffalo Trace releases less Eagle Rare than the market wants. Bottles are allocated to distributors, who allocate to retailers, and shops that receive an allocation tend to clear it quickly. That is why the bourbon is easy to find written about and hard to find on a shelf. What is listed on this page is what we can actually ship. Nothing in the Eagle Rare collection is currently backordered, which is not always true elsewhere. Stock does move, so what is here today may not be here next month.

Eagle Rare 17 Year The 17 Year is a Buffalo Trace Antique Collection release, which means it arrives once a year in small numbers and disappears immediately. It is not a bigger version of the 10 Year. Seventeen years in a Kentucky warehouse pushes the oak much further forward, and the result is drier and more tannic than the standard bottling. The current Eagle Rare 17 Year 2025 is $1,799.99, down from $2,299.99. There is also a 17 Year paired
