Buffalo to launch Eagle Rare 25

Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced the release of Eagle Rare 25, an ultra-aged bourbon that exemplifies the distillery's relentless commitment to innovation, and honouring tradition but embracing change.

At 25 years old, Eagle Rare 25 marks the oldest expression released from the Eagle Rare portfolio. Defying existing perception of ultra-aged bourbon with its smooth, complex flavour profile, Eagle Rare 25 is a remarkable product from the distillery's $20-million-dollar-plus experimental program.

Eagle Rare 25 is endowed with notes of intense cherry, oak, dark chocolate, and an icing drizzle beginning on the nose; the palate is a balance of vanilla, dark fruit, and butterscotch, followed by an extremely long finish with lingering notes of rickhouse floor, baking spice, and black pepper.

Approximately 200 750ml bottles of Eagle Rare 25 will be released to select retailers, bars, and restaurants globally, beginning November 2023, at a suggested retail price of $10,000 per bottle. The expression joins the Eagle Rare lineup of Eagle Rare, Double Eagle Very Rare, and Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old, which were released as part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
