Eagle Rare 30 Year Old: New Upcoming Release

Just when you thought Buffalo Trace couldn't push the Eagle Rare line any further, they've gone and done something almost unthinkable: Eagle Rare 30-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has appeared on TTB label approvals, marking what could be one of the most audacious bourbon releases in recent memory. 

The Eagle Rare family has been on quite the journey lately. What started as a humble 10-year-old has blossomed into a full premium lineup – we've seen the Double Eagle Very Rare 20 Year Old for a few years now, last year's Eagle Rare 25 (2024), and just this month, the new Eagle Rare 12 has emerged in corners of the market. But 30 years? That's entering uncharted territory for American whiskey. 

The Specs That Matter 

The upcoming Eagle Rare 30 comes bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV) – a return to the higher proof that made Eagle Rare famous before the 10-year dropped to 90 proof in 2005. It's still that classic Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 we know and love: 71% corn, 21% rye, and 8% barley, but now with three decades of barrel interaction. 

What's Next? 

No official announcement or bottle image yet from Buffalo Trace, and both release date and pricing remain mysteries. But if recent ultra-premium bourbon trends are any indication, expect extremely limited availability and a price tag that reflects three decades of remarkably aged whiskey... This one could break the bank! Keep your eyes on Frootbat for updates on Eagle Rare 30's official release – though we suspect this eagle will be flying off shelves faster than you can say "allocated."
