The wine

The Eagle Rare brand was launched by Seagram in 1975, inspired by Wild Turkey’’s success. At the time the bourbon was produced at Four Roses using Charles L. Beam’’s recipe. The brand was sold to the Sazerac group at the same time as Benchmark in the 1980s. Production was then moved to Heaven Hill, followed by Buffalo Trace from 1992. Eagle Rare 10 Year Old is the brand’’s main edition, once available in a 90° proof version and a 101° proof version.
