Eagle Rare 17 Yr

Eagle Rare is a historic bourbon brand, originally developed by Seagram in 1975 in an effort to capitalize on what it felt were the popular marketing motifs used by Wild Turkey. Distilled at their Four Roses distillery, the recipe was devised by Charles L. Beam and was sold as a 10 year old with both a 90 and 101-proof version available. Seagram held ambitions beyond the drinks industry, however. In an effort to diversify their portfolio in the 1980s, they sold Eagle Rare along with the Benchmark brand to the Sazerac Company. They initially bottled it using barrels sourced from Heaven Hill, but later moved production to Buffalo Trace in 1992.

The Eagle Rare 17 Year Old Bourbon was introduced in 2000, using bourbon distilled at George T. Stagg in the early 1980s. It has been released annually as part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, a selection of whiskies collated and in some cases created to pay homage to the history of the company and its brands.
