Eagle Rare 12 Year Old marks a historic expansion of the Buffalo Trace portfolio, launched in June 2025 to commemorate the completion of the distillery's decade-long expansion project. This permanent age-stated expression bridges the gap between the flagship 10-year and the ultra-rare Antique Collection, offering a more robust, small-batch profile that emphasizes depth and structural consistency.

The Eagle Rare 12 is a foundational asset for vertical collectors, representing the first "new era" release from the expanded Buffalo Trace site. While it is a permanent addition, first-year supply (2025-2026) is strictly allocated as the distillery scales production. Collectors should note the specific 95-proof bottling—a unique point in the Eagle Rare hierarchy that provides a drier, more oak-forward character than the 10-year. Every bottle offered here is verified for original seal integrity and authenticated through our strict provenance standards. This is a mandatory cornerstone for the modern American whiskey vertical.

To fully appreciate the maple and cherry-vanilla aromatics, enjoy this 12-year expression neat in a Glencairn glass. The 95-proof delivery holds up exceptionally well over a single large clear cube for an evolving experience. Its structural weight also makes it the premier choice for a Luxury Manhattan, where the additional oak depth cuts cleanly through vermouth.
