What is Eagle Rare 10 Year Bourbon?
Eagle Rare 10 Year Bourbon is a bourbon with a ten-year age statement. In general, an age statement on a bourbon bottle means that the youngest whiskey in the bottle has spent at least that many years in the barrel.
Bourbon itself is an American whiskey made from a grain mixture that is at least 51 percent corn and aged in new charred oak barrels. A long age statement usually means the whiskey has taken more colour and flavour from the wood, and it also means the distillery has had to hold that stock for a decade before selling it.
That long wait is one reason a ten-year bottle can be harder to find than a younger bourbon from the same maker. It is also why many shoppers ask a store to confirm a bottle before they make the trip.
Which other rare bourbon bottles does The Wild Duck carry?
Our bourbon shelf includes bottles from Kentucky Owl, Widow Jane, Bardstown and Four Roses. Among them you will find Kentucky Owl Confiscated and Kentucky Owl St. Paddy's, Widow Jane 10 Year, Bardstown Origin and Four Roses SBS. In general, SBS on a Four Roses label refers to a single barrel bottling at barrel strength.
We also carry JOHNNY DRUM Private Stock, and cask-finished bourbon such as Filibuster Dual Cask Bourbon and Filibuster Madeir Cask Bourbon. A cask finish means the bourbon spends extra time in a second barrel, in this case one that held a different drink, before bottling.
Smaller producers are on the shelf as well, including Woodinville Straight Bourbon, Litchfield Straight Bourbon and Chattanooga Bourbon Whiskey. To read more about the smaller distilleries we carry, see craft bourbon in Boston.
What counts as rare bourbon?
Rare bourbon usually means a bottle that is made in small amounts or that few stores carry. That includes limited and seasonal releases, single barrel and small batch bottlings, bourbon with a long age statement, and bourbon from smaller distilleries with limited distribution.
Rarity also depends on where you are. A bottle can be hard to find in Boston even when it is easy to find in other states, because distributors send different amounts to each market.
For that reason, a rare bottle is not always an expensive or very old one. Sometimes it is simply a release that a distillery made once, or a bottle that reaches only a few stores in Massachusetts. If you are hunting for something specific, the exact name on the label matters, so have it ready when you call.
How do I check whether a rare bourbon is in stock before I visit?
Start with the bourbon page. Its product cards come from our live shelf, with our own best sellers shown first, so they show the bourbon in stock today.
If the bottle you want does not appear there, call the store and ask our staff whether it is on the shelf. Give the full name, including the age statement or the barrel details, so that we can check the right bottle.
The same approach works for the wider whiskey shelf. Across the whole store we have more than 4,500 products in stock from more than 700 brands, so a quick call is often faster than a trip to find out. For other common questions, our frequently asked questions page covers ordering and store details.
