What is Eagle Rare 10?

Eagle Rare 10 is a straight bourbon whiskey with a ten-year age statement. That number means the youngest whiskey in the bottle has spent at least ten years in oak. For bourbon, that is a long time, since many bottles on the shelf are four to six years old.

By law, bourbon must be made in the United States from a grain mix that is at least 51 percent corn, and aged in new charred oak barrels. Time in those barrels is where much of the color, vanilla, caramel and spice comes from.

The Eagle Rare name is often described as a single barrel bourbon, which means each bottling comes from an individual barrel rather than a large blend. That is general product knowledge, so check the label on any bottle you pick up.

Why is Eagle Rare 10 hard to find?

A ten-year age statement means the distiller has to commit whiskey to barrels for a decade before it can be bottled. That limits how much exists at any given time, and bourbon demand has grown a lot since those barrels were filled.

Because supply is tight, bottles of aged bourbon tend to arrive in small amounts and leave the shelf quickly across the whole country. That is true of the category in general, not just of one shop.

It is also why a search for the bottle near you often comes up empty. The practical answer is to check the brand page, and to look at our Allocated Items page, which is where limited bottles are collected on our site.

How should you check before you drive over?

Open the Eagle Rare brand page and see what is shown. Stock is live there, so what you see is what we have that day.

If the bottle you want is not listed, you are not wasting a trip by finding out first. You can also browse the full Bourbon section to see what else is on the shelf.

We have 4,559 products in stock across 1,880 brands, so there is usually something close to what you are after, even when one specific bottle is out.

Can you get Eagle Rare through pickup or delivery?

We offer pickup, delivery and shipping besides walking in. Whether a given Eagle Rare bottle can be ordered that way depends on whether it is listed on the brand page when you look.

What else is worth a look if Eagle Rare 10 is not on the shelf?

If you like the idea of an aged American whiskey, browse Whiskey and Rye. Our blog has pieces on 1792 Small Batch Bourbon and Angel's Envy rye, both of which are worth a read before you decide.

It helps to know what you like about Eagle Rare. If it is the oak and caramel, an older bourbon will land closer than a young one. If it is the spice, rye is a good direction.

If you are not sure, ask at the counter. Tell us what you usually pour and what you want to spend, and we will point you to something on the shelf.

How should you drink a bourbon like this?

Most people pour an aged bourbon neat or with a single large ice cube, so the flavors are not diluted. A few drops of water can open up the aroma.

A wide-mouthed glass or a tulip-shaped glass lets you smell it before you sip. Take your time and drink responsibly.

Store an open bottle upright, away from sunlight and heat. Bourbon does not age in the bottle, so an unopened bottle stays as it was when it was filled.
