The Story
Uncut. Unfiltered. 17 years. Eagle Rare 17 Year 2024 — the most recent vintage of the longest-aged bourbon in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Part of the 2024 BTAC annual release, all expressions of which are currently available at Wooden Cork.
Eagle Rare 17 Year is released each fall in extremely limited BTAC allocation, uncut and unfiltered at natural barrel proof. At nearly two decades of Kentucky aging, the profile is fundamentally different from the widely available Eagle Rare 10 Year — aged leather, dried fruit, deep oak integration, and a polished complexity that extended maturation develops. The 2024 is the most recent vintage.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Deep rich amber from 17 years of new charred American oak.
- Nose: Dried fruit, aged oak, leather, and sophisticated complexity.
- Palate: Aged leather, honey sweetness, herbs, and smoke — mature oak fully integrated.
- Finish: Long and dry — oak and dried fruit through a deeply satisfying close.

- Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- Age: 17 years

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the complete 2024 BTAC collection available at Wooden Cork? Yes — George T. Stagg 2024 (136.1 proof), William Larue Weller 2024 (125.8 proof), Eagle Rare 17 Year 2024, and Sazerac Rye 18 Year 2024 are all currently in stock. Acquiring all four from a single source is an exceptionally rare opportunity.
- How does the 2024 compare to earlier BTAC Eagle Rare vintages? Each BTAC vintage reflects a different barrel selection. Earlier vintages (2022, 2023) are further from primary distribution and harder to source. The 2024 is the most accessible BTAC ER currently available.
- Is the 2024 Eagle Rare 17 Year still available? Yes — the most recent vintage, available now.
