About the Double Eagle Very Rare bourbon
The Double Eagle Very Rare bourbon is the latest addition to the highly sought-after collection of whiskies produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery. The whiskey has been aged for 20 years and comes packaged in a sleek blue decanter finished with two golden eagles. According to the distillery, the packaging is intended to reflect the rarity and luxury of the whiskey inside.
The Taste
But what does the whiskey taste like? The distillery describes it as being “rich and smooth,” with a contrast of sweet flavors like vanilla and caramel against a slightly smoky oak background. The whiskey also has a long and warming finish. It should be savored neat or with a small dribble of water or ice to release the flavors and aromas fully.
Price and Availability
As expected, Double Eagle Very Rare bourbon is a limited-edition whiskey. Only 299 bottles of this highly exclusive whiskey were made, with each one holding a 750 ml volume. As for the price, Buffalo Trace Distillery has placed a suggested retail price of $2,000 per bottle, making it one of the most expensive whiskies the distillery has ever released. However, given the bourbon’s rarity and exceptional taste, it is expected to attract a high price point on the secondary whiskey market.

The bourbon’s rich flavors and stunning packaging make it an excellent addition to the distillery’s already exceptional collection of whiskeys.
