Information

Eagle Rare is a highly sought-after bourbon, with a reputation for being hard to come by. The bourbon is distributed as an allocated spirit, meaning distributors are not able to place orders on demand when they are running low on stock as they would with a typical spirit [3].

Additionally, Eagle Rare was a victim of a seven-year heist carried out by former employees, who stole an exorbitant amount of bourbon from the distillery, selling it on the secondary market to turn a major profit [3].
