LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — After decades of aging, a new bourbon is already turning heads for its rarity and price.
Buffalo Trace Distillery unveiled Eagle Rare 30-Year, a limited-release whiskey aged for three decades before bottling. The release highlights the distillery’s long-term commitment to craftsmanship and patience in the aging process.
According to our partners at Louisville Business First, the bourbon was pulled from barrels stored inside a specialized warehouse in Frankfort, where it developed its distinct character over time. It’s bottled at 110-proof, offering a bold, full-bodied experience aimed at serious collectors.
Each bottle comes in a hand-blown crystal decanter featuring a detailed glass eagle inside.
The first bottles will be available through an online auction starting at 7 a.m. Friday. After that, only a small number will be made available at a price of $12,500 per bottle.
With its extended aging, intricate design and limited availability, the release is expected to draw significant attention from bourbon enthusiasts and collectors alike.
