Eagle Rare 10 vs 12 vs 17 Year: Which Bourbon Wins? LIVE
Oct 23, 2026
Tonight on Bourbon Bytes, we're tasting three generations of Eagle Rare side by side! 🥃
We've got the classic Eagle Rare 10 Year, the NEW Eagle Rare 12 Year, and the legendary Eagle Rare 17 Year from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
All three share Buffalo Trace's Mashbill #1, but with different ages and proofs. The big question is whether the new 12-year hits that perfect sweet spot between the affordable 10-year and the nearly impossible-to-find 17-year.
Is the BTAC 17 really worth the hype? Can the new 12-year compete? Or will the classic 10-year surprise us?
We'll taste all three, compare tasting notes, talk value, and rank them LIVE!
