Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced the introduction of Eagle Rare 12.The latest age-stated addition to the Eagle Rare lineup, it comes as the distillery completes its 10-year, $1.2 billion expansion project, which played a pivotal role in its creation.

In addition to aging a minimum of two years longer than Eagle Rare 10, it is bottled at 95 proof.“This whiskey represents more than just time in the barrel—it’s the result of years of dedication, innovation, and an unwavering commitment from our entire team,” said Buffalo Trace Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley. “The investments we’ve made - in time, resources and effort - have allowed us to explore new possibilities in aging and flavor, and this release is a proud reflection of that journey.”“At Buffalo Trace Distillery, we believe there are no shortcuts to create outstanding whiskey – there is no substitute for quality time spent in the barrel. With Eagle Rare, we are always striving but never satisfied, constantly experimenting to enable better-tasting age stated bourbons,” added Andrew Duncan, Global Brand Director at Buffalo Trace Distillery. “When it was introduced, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey brought higher quality standards to whiskey around the world; now, Eagle Rare pushes the bounds of age stating excellence in Bourbon.”Eagle Rare 12 is available now for $49.99.
