Neat Notes

In 1943 Seagram purchased Four Roses and the Frankfort Distilleries and 1946 purchased the Old Prentice Distillery in Lawrenceburg, KY. The Old Prentice Distillery was built in 1910 with an architectural style of Spanish mission and was named after George Prentice, a well-known editor of a newspaper. The distillery was used for production by J.T.S. Brown & Sons up until Prohibition. Eagle Rare was introduced to the market in 1975 by Seagram under the care of Master Distiller Charles “Chuck” Lloyd Beam. It featured a 101 proof (50.5% alcohol by volume) offering, was aged ten years, and produced at the Old Prentice distillery. In 1989, Sazerac purchased the Eagle Rare brand. This bottle is in excellent condition and comes with a wooden box.
