Eagle Rare 10 Year and 12 Year Bourbon 2-Pack Bundle

Product Description

Eagle Rare 10 Year and 12 Year Bourbon Bundle: Pour Two Buffalo Trace Bourbons Side by Side

Two ages, two proofs, one distillery. This Eagle Rare 10 Year and 12 Year Bourbon Bundle pairs the bourbon that made Eagle Rare famous with the 12-year-old that joined the permanent lineup in June 2025, so you can taste exactly what two extra years in the barrel do. Both are Kentucky straight bourbons from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, made on Buffalo Trace’s Mash Bill #1, aged in new charred American oak, and selected barrel by barrel by the distillery’s team. The 10 Year is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) and the 12 Year at 95 proof (47.5% ABV).

Pour them next to each other and the story is in the glass. The Eagle Rare 10 Year is the bright, balanced one: toffee, orange peel, herbs, honey, leather, and oak on the nose, a bold, dry palate of candied almonds and rich cocoa, and a dry, lingering finish. The Eagle Rare 12 Year is the deeper one: a sweet, oaky aroma with delicate hints of almond, a palate of subtle vanilla and toasted oak, and a rich, lingering finish with warm toffee, and tasters find dark cherry and brown sugar and a drier finish. It’s a ready-made vertical tasting, a gift for the bourbon fan who has everything, and the easiest way to settle the Eagle Rare 10 versus 12 debate yourself.

How to Taste Them Side by Side

Pour each into its own Glencairn glass, start with the 10 Year, and then move to the 12 Year. Note the orange peel and cocoa in the 10, then the extra oak, almond, and toffee in the 12. A few drops of water open both. Cleanse your palate with water between pours. At 95 proof, the 12 Year is the one to sip slowly.

Food Pairings

The toffee and cocoa pair well with dark chocolate, aged cheddar, and roasted pecans. They also go with grilled steak, pecan pie, and a cigar.
