Eagle Rare 101 Proof 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon (1982 Release)

101 proof. 10 years. 1982 Release. Eagle Rare — the 1982 vintage of the founding-era Eagle Rare from Old Prentice Distillery in Lawrenceburg, one year after the 1981 Release also in the Wooden Cork collection, completing a consecutive two-year founding-era pair alongside the 1978 Quart.

The 1981 and 1982 releases document two consecutive production years at Old Prentice during the period when Eagle Rare was establishing itself as a premium aged bourbon in the pre-revival American whiskey market. Together with the 1978 Quart, these three expressions represent the earliest Eagle Rare vintages currently available at Wooden Cork — founding-era documentation of a brand that would eventually become one of the most sought-after names in bourbon.
