Eagle Rare 10 Year is Buffalo Trace Distillery's low-rye Kentucky straight bourbon, aged at least a full decade and bottled at 90 proof — and over the last few years it has quietly become one of the most hunted "everyday" bottles in America.

Here's the part newer collectors often miss: Eagle Rare comes from Buffalo Trace's low-rye mash bill — the same recipe family behind George T. Stagg and E.H. Taylor. Buffalo Trace never publishes its mash bills, but this grouping is one of bourbon's worst-kept secrets — so what you're really holding is Buffalo Trace's juice with years of extra Kentucky warehouse time. The brand predates the modern bourbon boom by decades: master distiller Charles L. Beam launched Eagle Rare in 1975, and Sazerac brought it to what's now Buffalo Trace in 1989. Longtime fans still remember when the label read "Single Barrel" — a designation that quietly came off when a new bottling line could no longer guarantee every bottle drew from one barrel — exactly the kind of trivia that wins bourbon night.

In the glass it drinks older than its age statement: toasted oak and leather up front, then honey, orange peel, and dark chocolate, closing on a long, dry finish that rewards patience. It's the rare allocated bottle that's equally at home poured neat for a mentor or opened on a Tuesday.

Finding one is the hard part — and that's where we come in. Every bottle here comes from authenticated and verified sources, is packed white-glove, and in most cases ships the same day. No lotteries, no lists, no luck required. And if you're curious what Eagle Rare tasted like before the Buffalo Trace era, our vintage collection is the time machine — Lawrenceburg-era bottles surface there when we hunt them down.

Common questions

Why is Eagle Rare 10 Year so hard to find?
Demand outgrew supply. Eagle Rare became allocated as the bourbon boom collided with a fixed inventory of decade-old barrels — you can't rush ten years of aging — and most stores receive only a handful of bottles at a time.

Is Eagle Rare the same as Buffalo Trace bourbon?
Same distillery, same low-rye recipe family — but Eagle Rare is aged no less than ten years, considerably longer than the flagship Buffalo Trace, which deepens the oak, leather, and dark-sugar character.

Is Eagle Rare 10 a good gift?
One of the safest gifts in bourbon — instantly recognized by enthusiasts, approachable for newcomers.

This bourbon was released in 2010 as the 4th edition of the Parker's Heritage Collection. It was also the first time the series introduced barrel-proof extra-aged wheated bourbon. 52 ten-year-old barrels were dumped producing 4,800 bottles. The cask this bottle came from clocked in at 62.1% ABV. "Buttered caramel corn and vanilla snap on the nose with animal crackers and a thick oak layer. Old wood, like the whisky was tapped from a giant oak tree (a magical one at that), hits hard on the palate. Baking spices accent the taste with cinnamon leading the spiced up high alcohol blast. This is a thick and chewy bourbon. A pleasant varnished tartness mingles long with the earthy wood taking you on an amusement-park log ride of a finish."

First introduced in 2017, E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey is a 100-proof, small-batch bourbon crafted from a distinctive recipe featuring high-quality corn, rye, wheat and malted barley – grains that would have been accessible to Taylor in the 1800s. Distilled in 2015 and aged for ten years, this expression stands apart within the E.H. Taylor, Jr. lineup of whiskeys for its unique balance of flavors. The combination of four grains creates a layered and complex profile: corn delivers foundational sweetness, rye adds spice and structure, wheat softens the palate with subtle sweetness, and malted barley contributes depth with a gentle toasted character. The result is a bourbon that is both rich and balanced, offering notes of caramel, vanilla and chocolate with a lightly spiced, lingering finish.

“What makes Four Grain so special is how unconventional it is," said Harlen Wheatley, Master Distiller at Buffalo Trace Distillery. "It’s also a clear example of what we call a ‘graduated experiment’ – one that began as a deliberate exploration and evolved into a release worthy of returning as a permanent expression. Rye and wheat are often used separately, but combining them creates a completely different flavor experience. Alongside corn and malted barley, we’re able to build layers of flavor that balance sweetness, spice and depth in a way you don’t typically see in bourbon.”

The 2022 Sonoma Coast vintage delivered exceptional quality despite significant challenges, beginning with beneficial winter rains following 2021's drought and elevated early-season temperatures. A predominantly cool summer was disrupted by an unprecedented Labor Day heat surge, accelerating harvest and further reducing already diminished yields from spring frost. Compact berries and clusters produced wines of remarkable concentration and depth. Our meticulous approach emphasized night harvesting, careful cluster selection for whole-cluster fermentation, and gentle processing via optical sorting and gravity-flow techniques. The vintage ultimately delivered wines of extraordinary quality despite limited volumes, demonstrating the resilience of Sonoma Coast vineyards through a season of climatic extremes.

The Reserves launched last year (2024) as the first innovation to come from Booker’s Bourbon since the 30th Anniversary launch. The Reserves is an annual, limited-release series by Freddie, to commemorate his grandaddy, 6th Generation Master Distiller Booker Noe, and his contributions to the bourbon world.

The 2025 batch tells the story of some well-traveled barrels: first used to age the beloved Booker’s 30th Anniversary release, then shipped to Jalisco where the Camarena family filled them with El Tesoro’s 85th Anniversary tequila. Finally, those same agave-seasoned barrels returned to Clermont, Kentucky, where Freddie Noe finished a hand-selected batch of Booker’s inside them. This is the very first time across the entire Beam portfolio that a product is finished in tequila barrels.

The result is a one-of-a-kind bourbon – uncut and unfiltered. It was bottled at 123.3 proof and aged exactly eight years, ten months and eleven days.

“In many ways, it’s the same Booker’s you know and love,” Freddie Noe said. “Always uncut and unfiltered. But in other ways, The Reserves is something new, inspired by my granddaddy’s boundless curiosity and relentless pursuit of flavor.”

Good things come to those who wait. In this case, that good thing is a rum first conceived of nearly three years ago among friends around a table in the hot, humid climate of Jamaica's Trelawny Parish. In the summer of 2022, we took a trip down there with our colleagues at Prestige-Ledroit to visit one of the most incredible distilleries on earth, the legendary Hampden Estate.

Hampden has been producing rum for over 250 years and the facility is truly a marvel to behold. Walking the grounds and production areas helps one to understand how Hampden produces some of the most distinctive, high-quality, and sought-after rum in the world.

To commemorate this trip, we created a blend of three of Hampden's iconic rum marks – LFCH, LROK, and <>H – aged for several years in the tropical climate of northwest Jamaica. The blend is composed of ten barrels that were distilled on Hampden's famed double retort pot stills, selected by us and blended to our specifications, and bottled at cask strength with no adulteration.
