Eagle Rare 17-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – 750 mL

Tasting / Profile

• A highly coveted, limited-release bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery’s Antique Collection, aged a minimum of 17 years and bottled at roughly 101 proof (50.5% ABV). 

• Deep, rich and nuanced — the nose offers dark fruit (black cherry/plum), caramel, vanilla and warm oak, with subtle tobacco, leather and brown sugar layers. 

• Palate: velvety and mature, combining sweet toffee and honeyed notes with seasoned oak, tobacco leaf and spice, finishing long with oak tannins and gentle pepper.

• Rare allocation — released annually in the fall in very limited quantities and highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. 

Menu Versatility

• Best showcased neat or with a few drops of water to appreciate the extended barrel influence — ideal for premium whiskey flights and tasting menus.

• Exceptional as a feature pour for high-margin, slow-sipping service or special occasions (holiday dinners, whiskey nights).

• Can be used sparingly in whisky-forward cocktails, though its depth generally shines more clearly sipped straight or on large ice.

Operational Efficiency

• Standard 750 mL bottle fits existing back-bar shelving and pour systems.

• Due to its annual allocation and rarity, recommend controlled pour sizes (1 oz or 1.5 oz tasting pours) to maximize inventory while delivering premium service.

Profit Potential

• Extremely high perceived value supports top-tier pricing per pour and premium bottle-service packages.

• Use as the anchor of a curated bourbon flight (e.g., “Rare Kentucky Bourbons”) to drive check averages and guest engagement.

• Story and scarcity elevate menu positioning — ideal for whiskey aficionados and collectors, not just casual drinkers.
