Buffalo Trace Distillery recently announced the release of Double Eagle Very Rare, a 20-year-old bourbon.
Complimented by a crystal decanter and silver presentation box, this limited-edition whiskey has a name with double meaning. It was matured twice as long as the Eagle Rare 10-year-old bourbon and the Double Eagle decanter features two beautifully sculptured crystal glass eagles, one inside the bottle, and one serving as the stopper. Only 299 of these bottles were produced and an individually numbered letter of authenticity is included with each.
“We’ve been waiting for this whiskey to mature for years,” said Kris Comstock, senior marketing director for Eagle Rare. “Even after two decades, these barrel are surprisingly balanced. Hints of vanilla, toasted oak and caramel lead to a gracefully aged oaky flavor. We worked on the packaging for more than two years, and finally settled on what we think is a beautiful decanter inside an eye catching, yet tastefully decorated box. Something that anyone would be proud to display on their bar. And it tastes even better than it looks.”
The Double Eagle Very Rare is $1,999. And don’t worry if you miss out this year, the next release will be spring 2020.
