Worth knowing
Contrary to a widely repeated claim, the 10-year age statement has never been removed — it moved from the neck to the back label in a 2012 redesign, and 'Single Barrel' was dropped when bottling was automated. Eagle Rare 12 launched in June 2025 as a separate SKU, which is the likely source of the confusion. Allocated in the US; the UK is not similarly constrained.
This bottle is allocated in most markets, so the recommended price and the price you can actually pay are usually different. Treat any figure above as a reference point, not an expectation.
