This rare bourbon ages in oak barrels for nearly two decades and is only available in small quantities once a year, every fall. Sip this polished, well-aged whiskey to appreciate why patience is such a virtue.

The fragrant aroma has almost a wine-like character with hints of almond, cigar boxes and cinnamon. The delicate and dry mid-palate tastes of leather, vanilla and tobacco. This bourbon lingers, finishing with hint of leather and toffee.

Tasting Notes:

Batch Specific Reviews:

“It remains the only bottle in the Antique Collection that comes close to a more traditional classic bourbon flavor profile due in part to its manageable 101 proof and rye as the secondary grain in the mashbill.” – Jordan Moskal, Breaking Bourbon

“Compared to Eagle Rare its much darker, oak and brown sugar forward. That said the prevailing note is an extra ripe, juicy cherry.” – District Drams
