Buffalo Trace's announcement of its 2014 Antique Collection described Eagle Rare 17 Year Old as aged nearly two decades on the second, third and sixth floors of Warehouses I and K, tasting of oak, leather, cinnamon and tobacco. The Kentucky straight bourbon was 19 years old at bottling, drawn from 26 barrels and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).

The Elemental Distinction

Nineteen years at bottling. Buffalo Trace described the 2014 as aged nearly two decades; it was 19 years old when bottled, under a 17-year label.

Warehouses I and K. Second, third and sixth floors, per the 2014 announcement — the placement the distillery's fact sheets give for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 releases.

Cinnamon in the description. Oak, leather, cinnamon and tobacco: a spice absent from all four of the distillery's 2010–2013 tasting comments.

26 barrels. One more than the 25 on the 2013 sheet.

Out in fall 2014. The collection was due from late September or early October 2014, according to the same announcement.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Buffalo Trace description

Sensory Profile

Oak, leather, cinnamon and tobacco: the flavors Buffalo Trace named for the 2014 Eagle Rare 17. Leather and tobacco link it to the distillery's comments on its spring-1993 releases of 2010 to 2013; cinnamon is the addition.

Strategic Position

The 2014 follows the 2013 release, nineteen years at bottling, and the 2015 release from spring-1998 barrels follows it. The collection's rye side that year included the Handy rye that shared the 2014 release.
