Double Eagle Very Rare 20 Year 2018 Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

20 years. 2018. Double Eagle Very Rare — the founding release of Buffalo Trace’s most age-forward and ultra-premium standard program, drawing on the distillery’s deepest aged inventory in a presentation befitting the liquid inside.

Double Eagle Very Rare is Buffalo Trace’s apex annual expression — positioned above Eagle Rare 17 Year (BTAC) in the age hierarchy, drawing on 20-year Kentucky straight bourbon from the same distillery that produces Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace, and the BTAC expressions. The 2018 release is the founding edition of the program, now years removed from primary distribution and among the most scarce Double Eagle Very Rare bottles available.

At 20 years, this bourbon has been maturing for the same duration as Michter’s 20 Year and the deepest Parker’s Heritage editions — a maturity that produces fundamentally different character from any 12 or 15-year expression. The Double Eagle Very Rare program positions this aging depth in an ultra-premium glass presentation that reflects the rarity of the liquid.
