Buffalo Trace Distillery is taking its Eagle Rare lineup to new heights with the debut of Eagle Rare 12, a bold and elevated bourbon that reflects a decade of meticulous aging and a $1.2 billion investment in distilling perfection. Set to hit shelves in June 2025, this 95-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a refined evolution of the much-loved Eagle Rare 10, with an extra two years in the barrel and flavor to match.

Crafted using Buffalo Trace’s iconic Mashbill #1 and aged for a minimum of 12 years in closely monitored warehouses, Eagle Rare 12 is hand-selected by the brand’s expert team to deliver serious character. The result is a rich, complex spirit that opens with sweet oak and almond on the nose, shifts to vanilla and toasted oak on the palate, and closes with a long, toffee-laced finish. It’s a bourbon that not only honors tradition but pushes the boundaries of age-stated excellence.

Launching at a reasonable $50 for a 750ml bottle, Buffalo Trace Eagle Rare 12 proves that luxury doesn’t always come at a steep price. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Eagle Rare family or new to the bourbon game, this is one worth lining up for. Keep an eye out for our products at select retailers and bars across the U.S. starting this summer, with global expansion to follow later in the fall.
