Eagle Rare price: key takeaways
- Eagle Rare 10 Year (750ml): $44.95 on North Carolina's November 1, 2026 price list and $44.99 at Virginia ABC. (Source: NC ABC, November 2026 price list) (Source: Virginia ABC, Eagle Rare 10 Year)
- Eagle Rare 12 Year (750ml): $49.95 on the same NC list. It is a real, current bottle: 12 years minimum, 95 proof. (Source: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Eagle Rare 12)
- Eagle Rare 17 Year: part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, with a $149.99 suggested retail price for the 2025 release. NC lists it at $154.95. (Source: Buffalo Trace Antique Collection 2025 release)
- Resale estimates differ sharply: about $62 for a recent 10 Year and about $1,229 for a Fall 2025 17 Year (The Collective, values as of August 2026). (Source: The Collective)
- Our view: pay shelf price for the 10 and 12 and drink them. Paying 8x retail for a 17 Year makes sense only if you plan to open it.

Buffalo Trace Distillery lists five Eagle Rare age statements on its brand page: 10, 12, 17, 25 and 30 years, plus the 20-year-old Double Eagle Very Rare.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Eagle Rare 10 Year price
This is the core bottle. The distillery describes it as a Kentucky straight bourbon aged a full decade, 90 proof (45% ABV), made from Mash Bill #1. (Source: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Eagle Rare 10)
North Carolina's November 2026 list prices the 750ml at $44.95, the same as on its May 2026 list. (Source: NC ABC, November 2026) (Source: NC ABC, May 2026) Virginia ABC sells three sizes: $29.99 for 375ml, $44.99 for 750ml and $84.99 for 1.75L. (Source: Virginia ABC)
On the secondary market, The Collective puts a recent 750ml at about $62 and a recent 1.75L at about $130, as of August 2026. (Source: The Collective, 10 Year) (Source: The Collective, 1.75L) Paying much above that for a standard bottle is overpaying.
Eagle Rare 12 Year price
Yes, a 12 Year exists, and it is not just an older 10. The distillery bottles it at 95 proof (47.5% ABV) after a minimum of 12 years, against 90 proof for the 10. (Source: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Eagle Rare 12)
NC lists it under "Special Packages" at $49.95 for 750ml (code 17-112), only $5 above the 10 Year. (Source: NC ABC, November 2026) We found no Virginia ABC product page for it.
Resale is the gap to watch. The Collective shows about $145 for the 2025 bottling, nearly three times NC's shelf price. (Source: The Collective, 12 Year 2025)
Eagle Rare 17 Year price
Each fall, Eagle Rare 17 is released as part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. The distillery bottles it at 101 proof. (Source: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Eagle Rare 17) The 2025 bottle spent 18 years and 4 months in barrel, and the whole collection carried a suggested retail price of $149.99. (Source: Buffalo Trace Antique Collection 2025)
NC's November 2026 list prices it at $154.95, up from $149.95 in May. (Source: NC ABC, November 2026) (Source: NC ABC, May 2026) The NC list shows 90 proof for this code; the producer says 101, and we go with the producer. Pennsylvania priced it at $149.99 in its January 2026 lottery. (Source: PLCB, Limited-Release Lotteries)
Retail access is the hard part. That PLCB lottery offered 24 bottles of Eagle Rare 17 (18 for consumers, 6 for licensees) statewide, one bottle per winner. (Source: PLCB)
Resale estimates from The Collective sit at about $1,229 for Fall 2025 and $1,220 for Fall 2024. (Source: The Collective, Fall 2025) (Source: The Collective, Fall 2024) We had not found a 2026 Antique Collection announcement on the distillery's site when we published.
Eagle Rare 25 and 30 Year price
These are decanter releases. Eagle Rare 25 is aged in Buffalo Trace's experimental Warehouse P and bottled at 101 proof. (Source: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Eagle Rare 25) NC lists it at $9,999.95 (code 18-277). (Source: NC ABC)
For resale, The Collective's last recorded trade for a 2024 bottle was $14,050 on October 21, 2025. (Source: The Collective, 25 Year 2024)
Eagle Rare 30, the distillery's oldest age-stated bourbon, is bottled at 101 proof. (Source: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Eagle Rare 30)
Its April 16, 2026 launch release set a suggested retail price of $12,500 for 750ml, with a limited release starting May 2026. (Source: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Eagle Rare 30 press release) It is not on NC's November 2026 list.

Double Eagle Very Rare
Double Eagle Very Rare is a 20-year-old bourbon in a crystal decanter with two sculpted eagles, sold with a numbered certificate. (Source: Buffalo Trace Distillery) It costs $2,999.95 in NC and $2,999.99 at Virginia ABC. (Source: NC ABC) (Source: Virginia ABC) For its history and resale record, read our Double Eagle Very Rare guide.
Why is Eagle Rare 10 hard to find at shelf price?
Supply, mostly. Virginia ABC marks Eagle Rare 10 as "Periodic Availability." It says the bottle is "produced in very limited amounts," sold in-store only at randomly selected stores, one bottle per customer per day per location. (Source: Virginia ABC, Eagle Rare 10 Year)
That scarcity is what lets some private stores tag the 10 Year well above $45. When you see a high sticker, check it against a dated state price list. If a store pick costs more, NC's $49.95 for the Single Barrel Select is a fair reference point. (Source: NC ABC)
Does Buffalo Trace publish an MSRP for Eagle Rare?
Only for some bottles. The 10, 12, 17 and 25 Year product pages list age, proof, mash bill and tasting notes, with no price. (Source: Eagle Rare 10) (Source: Eagle Rare 12)
Suggested retail prices show up in release announcements instead: $149.99 for the 2025 Antique Collection and $12,500 for Eagle Rare 30. (Source: BTAC 2025 release) (Source: Eagle Rare 30 press release)
For the 10 and 12 Year, the closest thing to a public benchmark is a dated control-state list. North Carolina and Virginia were within 4 cents of each other on the 10 Year in November 2026.
How can you avoid overpaying for Eagle Rare?
- Know the three prices. Suggested retail comes from the distillery, shelf price from a dated store or state list, and secondary values from trade data. A "market price" tag on a 10 Year is usually a secondary price on a shelf bottle.
- Compare 10 and 12 before you pay up. In NC the 12 Year costs $5 more for two extra years and 5 more proof. (Source: NC ABC) (Source: Eagle Rare 12)
- Enter lotteries for the 17. Control states such as Pennsylvania sell Antique Collection bottles at retail through drawings. (Source: PLCB)
- Check the bottle. Each Antique Collection bottle ships with a letter on its production and aging. (Source: BTAC 2025 release) Our old whiskey bottle value guide covers fill level, seals and provenance.
Should you drink Eagle Rare or flip it?
Drink the 10 and 12. A resale gap of about $17 on a recent 10 Year (The Collective's $62 against a $45 shelf price) disappears once you count fees, shipping and the risk of a broken or refused sale. (Source: The Collective)
The 17 Year is different on paper: a $150 bottle with a resale estimate above $1,200. But a lottery win isn't a plan, and secondary markets for allocated bourbon move with hype.
We treat a 17 Year as a bottle to open on an occasion, not an asset. Our bourbon investment guide explains the difference between bottles and other ways to own whiskey. Nothing here is investment advice.
How does Eagle Rare compare with other Buffalo Trace bottles?
Eagle Rare 10 sits above the flagship bourbon on price. Our Buffalo Trace price guide has dated prices for that bottle by size. For the distillery's other allocated bottles, see our Blanton's price guide and Pappy Van Winkle price guide.
Bottom line on Eagle Rare price
Expect about $45 for Eagle Rare 10 Year and $50 for the 12 Year at state-store prices in November 2026, and $150 to $155 for the 17 Year if you win the chance to buy one. Resale runs from about $62 for a 10 to over $1,200 for a 17.
