Eagle Rare 10 years old - b. 1980s - 75cl

Eagle Rare 10 Years Old – Old Prentice Distillery – Italian Import – 75 cl – 45% ABV
Offered here is a highly collectible vintage bottling of Eagle Rare 10 Years Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, produced at the historic Old Prentice Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, and bottled at 45% ABV (90 Proof) for the Italian market. This is an authentic 1990s Italian export, presented in the classic squat bottle and complete with its original Italian tax strip, original neck booklet, and original "Soars Above All Others" hanging tag.
Eagle Rare has long been regarded as one of Kentucky's benchmark age-stated bourbons, celebrated for its extended maturation of ten years in new charred American oak barrels. The additional years of aging produce remarkable depth and elegance, with a rich aromatic profile of vanilla, caramel, honey, toasted oak, orange peel, leather and subtle tobacco. The palate is full and refined, offering notes of toffee, maple syrup, roasted nuts, baking spices and dark fruit, leading to a long, smooth finish with lingering oak, cocoa and cinnamon.
Older bottlings such as this have become increasingly desirable among bourbon enthusiasts and collectors. Produced before the modern Buffalo Trace packaging, they represent an important period in Eagle Rare's history and are often referred to as "dusty bourbons"—historic releases appreciated not only for their rarity but also for the distinctive character that many enthusiasts believe reflects earlier production methods and long bottle aging. Italian export versions were imported in relatively limited quantities, and complete examples retaining the original tax seal, neck booklet and hanging tag are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
This bottle remains unopened with the original Italian excise seal fully intact. The fill level is high into the neck, and the labels, booklet and hanging tag are all exceptionally well preserved for their age. The bottle contains 75 cl at 45% ABV and is offered without its original carton.
A fine opportunity to acquire a complete and well-preserved Old Prentice-era Eagle Rare, representing one of the most sought-after vintage expressions of this iconic Kentucky bourbon.
