Eagle Rare Double Eagle Very Rare

Tasting Notes / Description

Eagle Rare Double Eagle Very Rare is an ultra-premium Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Aged for an extensive 20 years—twice as long as the standard Eagle Rare 10—and bottled at 45% ABV (90° proof), it pours a deep mahogany hue and is presented in a handcrafted crystal decanter featuring two sculpted crystal eagles, individually numbered and enclosed in a silver box with spotlights.

On the nose, expect rich vanilla, toasted oak, caramel, and subtle dried fruit. The palate is luxuriously smooth and well-balanced, revealing layers of dark fruit, grape jam, toasted vanilla, clove, leather, and tobacco, with no harsh burn despite its age. The finish is long and warming, leaving lingering sweetness, oak spice, and tannin.

The bottle stopper on the Double Eagle Very Rare bourbon features a hand-blown crystal eagle perched atop the decanter. It matches a second crystal eagle embedded in the base of the bottle, symbolizing the “double” in its name. The stopper is part of an intricately designed presentation, which includes a custom silver box with built-in lighting to showcase the craftsmanship of both the whiskey and its packaging.

The presentation box for Double Eagle Very Rare is a custom-designed, silver-accented display case that opens to reveal the decanter dramatically lit from within. It features built-in LED spotlights that illuminate the crystal bottle and its two hand-blown eagles—one embedded in the base and one on the stopper. The box itself has a mirror-like finish, hinged doors, and a luxurious, minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing the rarity and prestige of the bottle. Each box is individually numbered, aligning with the bottle’s limited-edition status.
