Get a Taste of Kentucky with the Newest Luxury Bourbon
In the world of whiskey, particularly with bourbon aficionados, few things build anticipation quite like an exclusive release from a renowned distillery. For whiskey lovers around the world, the recent news from the legendary Buffalo Trace distillery is as enticing as a sip of a fine open-barrel bourbon.
Meet the Double Eagle Very Rare Bourbon
The revered Buffalo Trace Distillery, located in Kentucky – the heartland of American whiskies, introduced its Double Eagle Very Rare Bourbon with a certain pomp and circumstance that only something of this rarity deserves. As the name suggests, the Double Eagle Very Rare is not just a simple bourbon. It is, in every sense a luxurious liquor, destined to become a focal point in any refined bourbon collection.
The Bottle
The first impression with any luxury item is always its appearance, and it’s no different with the Double Eagle Very Rare. Each bottle is a hand-blown art form that echoes the iconic eagle of America. It is housed within a plush, handcrafted wooden box with a very distinctive, artisanal sliding door. As if this wasn’t enough, the duet of crystal eagles — one inside the bottle and one poised on a stopper — take the extravagance of this packaging to a different level, reaffirming its status as a collector’s bourbon.
The Bourbon
The bourbon itself is a work of art that has been decades in the making. The Double Eagle Very Rare comes from the same lineage as the widely appreciated Buffalo Trace’s Eagle Rare bourbon but has had significantly more maturing time. This bourbon boasts an impressive 20 years of aging inside the distillery’s choicest oak barrels.
Ensuring a complex and refined taste profile, the Double Eagle Very Rare exudes an aroma filled with caramel and old oak notes, combined harmoniously with a taste that encapsulates toasted oak, caramel, and coffee. It has an inherent smoothness that legendary bourbons are known for and leaves a lingering taste that is both sweet and strong.
A Rarity Like No Other
This bourbon is named ‘Very Rare’ for a reason – it’s not an everyday bourbon. With only a handful of bottles made, the Double Eagle Very Rare is a bourbon that celebrates rarity, limited access and, above all, top-notch quality.
Price and Availability
As you might expect, such exclusiveness comes with its share of price constraints. The Double Eagle Very Rare is not meant for anyone counting pennies but for the ones who appreciate the finer things in life. It carries a suggested retail price of approximately $2000, which, considering its heritage, craftsmanship, and rarity, seems justified for the right bourbon aficionado.
Given its limited quantities and the anticipation surrounding its release, it’s expected to be a hot commodity among modern bourbon collectors.
Final Notes
With its classy presentation and ultra-premium, time-aged bourbon, the Double Eagle Very Rare is definitely a jug of bourbon worth coveting. Its every sip is a testament to Buffalo Trace’s legacy and its commitment to taking bourbon making to new heights. While the price is steep, remember: this is less of an everyday sipper and more of a once-in-a-lifetime bourbon investment — a toast to good taste and sophistication.
Buffalo Trace’s release of the Double Eagle Very Rare Bourbon is truly a showcase of Kentucky’s finest. The intricate craftsmanship and impeccable quality of this whiskey pay homage to the legacy of American distillers. It’s undoubtedly a treasure for Bourbon enthusiasts, offering a truly exceptional and unparalleled tasting experience. If you’re seeking a unique and exquisite journey into the world of Bourbon, this is a must-try that won’t disappoint.
