$700.00The Story
Uncut. Unfiltered. 17 years. Eagle Rare 17 Year 2022 — the most recent vintage of the longest-aged bourbon in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
Eagle Rare 17 Year is the bourbon expression of the BTAC — released each fall in extremely limited quantities. At 17 years, this is fundamentally different from the standard Eagle Rare 10 Year: nearly two decades of Kentucky barrel aging produces aged leather, dried fruit, deep oak integration, and a polished complexity that extended maturation develops. The 2022 is the most recent BTAC Eagle Rare vintage, reflecting Buffalo Trace's master distiller barrel selection for that year's collection.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Deep rich amber from 17 years of new charred American oak contact.
- Nose: Complex and evolved — dried fruit, aged oak, and a sophisticated character that nearly two decades of maturation produces.
- Palate: Aged leather, honey sweetness, smoke, and herbs — the mature oak character fully integrated.
- Finish: Long and dry — oak and dried fruit through a deeply satisfying close.
Specs
- Distillery: Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky
- Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- Age: 17 years
- Bottling: Uncut, unfiltered
- Release: 2022 BTAC Annual Release
- Size: 750ml

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Eagle Rare 17 Year differ from Eagle Rare 10 Year? The 10 Year is widely available at 90 proof with bright fruit and citrus character. The 17 Year is uncut and unfiltered with 7 additional years — more oak integration, dried fruit, aged leather, and a drier, more complex profile.
- How does the 2022 compare to 2015, 2016, and other vintages? Each BTAC vintage reflects a different barrel selection with varying proof and character. The 2022 is the most recent vintage and reflects that year's specific 17-year barrel cohort.
- Is the 2022 BTAC Eagle Rare still available? Yes — BTAC releases are strictly limited and not restocked once exhausted.
