Eagle Rare 10 Year is a graceful Kentucky bourbon poured at Grappa in Queen Anne, Seattle, where it brings a quiet sense of occasion to the end of a Mediterranean meal.

About the Distillery

Eagle Rare is produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in America. The brand has long been associated with patient maturation and a refined house style, and each bottling carries an age statement of ten years. Buffalo Trace’s reputation for consistency and craft makes Eagle Rare a fitting pour for a restaurant that prizes thoughtful sourcing.

Style & Mash Bill

Eagle Rare is drawn from Buffalo Trace’s Mash Bill #1, a low-rye recipe of corn, a modest portion of rye, and malted barley. This composition leans toward soft caramel and oak rather than aggressive spice, and a full decade in charred oak lends the whiskey depth and polish. It is not a wheated bourbon; rather, it is a low-rye style that drinks smooth and rounded.

Tasting Notes

Expect aromas of toffee, candied orange, and toasted oak. The palate is layered with honey, dark caramel, a touch of leather, and gentle baking spice, all carried by the long maturation. The finish is dry and lingering, with cocoa and oak that make it a contemplative sipper.

What to Pair It With

Its caramel depth flatters our American Wagyu steaks, while the savory richness of our Sicilian meatballs meets the bourbon’s spice beautifully. For a sweet close, pair it with our flourless chocolate cake. See the full dine-in menu for more.
