SCYFOOD > Whisky Eagle Rare 20 Year Old Double Eagle Very Rare 2019 Contact Customer Service ENQUIRY Eagle Rare is a historic bourbon brand, originally developed by Seagram in 1975 in an effort to capitalise 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, and 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. Released in 2019, this Kentucky straight bourbon is named for the length of its age which at 20 years is double that of the standard Eagle Rare expression. Presented in a stunning decanter which includes two crystal eagles, one inside the bottle and one as the bottle stopper. This is the Spring 2019 release, bottled at the beginning of that year and one of 299 bottles with certificate of authenticity. Bottled Strength: 90 US Proof / 45% Bottle Size: 75cl
