Eagle Rare 10 Year is a highly awarded expression from Buffalo Trace Distillery, first introduced in 1975 and crafted from the distillery's low-rye Mash Bill #1, the same recipe shared with Buffalo Trace Bourbon and E.H. Taylor Small Batch. Every barrel is aged a minimum of a full decade in new charred American oak, primarily on the lower rickhouse floors to promote a mellowed, oak-forward character, then discriminately selected for consistent flavor while retaining an individual personality barrel to barrel.
