Eagle Rare 10 Year Old 101 Proof Bottled 1982
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Distillery Bottling 750ml / 101 Proof
An old and very interesting bottle of Eagle Rare 10-year-old 101 Proof Kentucky Straight bourbon whiskey, bottled in the 1980s at 101 US Proof, aka 50.5%. These early bottlings of Eagle Rare 10-year-old date from 1975-1989 and were distilled at Seagram’s Old Prentice Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, which today is known as Four Roses.
Bottled in 1982, this is one of the earlier editions of the Eagle Rare brand, which was introduced by the struggling Seagram’s company in 1975 in an attempt to steal some of Wild Turkey’s market share, and comes complete with a wooden presentation box.
Sazerac bought the Eagle Rare brand in 1989, switching the bourbon source to Heaven Hill for most of the 1990s before relaunching Eagle Rare as a small batch 17-year-old soon after the millennium using stock from their Buffalo Trace distillery, which they had bought in 1992.
