This offer is about as rare as an Eagles Super Bowl win. It feels like it comes along about once every 50 years.
As one of the largest private barrel buyers in the country, I turn down far more barrels than I accept. But Buffalo Trace Distillery is different – in four years, they’ve only released two barrels to me. Two!
That’s why this is special. While Sazerac always takes care of me with Pappy allocations for the bar, this year they went above and beyond – a private barrel of 10-year Eagle Rare for my Bourbon Buyer’s Club. Sure, it took seven months to arrive after I selected it this summer, but it’s worth the wait.
Regular Eagle Rare bottles (if you can find them) sell for north of $100 these days. To ensure this doesn’t vanish for another 24 months, I’m releasing just 100 bottles to the club, keeping the rest for the restaurant (and myself).
