Longtime members will note that this is the third single barrel of Eagle Rare that we have exclusively sourced. With multiple global awards piling up even regular Eagle Rare is getting hard to come by. Needless to say any time we’re offered the chance to select one of the limited number of single barrels released each year we jump at it.

With demand outstripping supply the price for Eagle Rare is soaring (excuse the pun), and the price we paid for this single barrel is no exception. While it’s a little more than our previous releases we think it’s well worth the extra and it will look like a bargain as the price continues to rise in years to come.

This barrel was selected from 3 samples by a panel of 10 lucky Barrel & Batch members back in August 2021. They loved the classic Eagle Rare characteristics of toffee, hints of orange peel, honey, leather and oak on the nose followed by a dry and delicate palate of candied almonds a surprisingly big hit of cherry ripe that fills the whole mouth. The finish is medium dry and lingering.

As a special treat, one lucky member who signs up and purchases our Eagle Rare #3 via priority access will have an additional bottle of a 2021 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection Eagle Rare 17-year-old at no extra charge sent to them. This heavily matured bourbon is super limited and prior releases sell at auction for around the $2,000 mark.

Exclusive to Barrel & Batch Whisky Co-op from Wednesday 13th July at 7 pm AEST for members who join the priority waitlist.
