Buffalo Trace Distillery's Antique Collection series is known for producing some of the finest quaffs in the market, and the 2019 edition of their Eagle Rare 17 year old bourbon is a prime example of this. The bourbon is aged and finished in new white oak barrels with #4 char for a minimum of 17 years, and it was distilled in the Spring of 2002 before being released in 2019. The mash bill for this premium bourbon contains BTD corn, Minnesota rye, and malted barley sourced from North Dakota Distillers, and it is double distilled and matured at barrel strength of 101 proof. When tasted, the 2019 Eagle Rare 17 year old bourbon delivers aromatic notes of brewed cherries and oak in maple syrup, with a palate of cocoa, oak, and sweet caramel seasoned with mint, making it a truly breathtaking quaff.
