It was no longer a small batch Bourbon and, instead, became a single barrel. Sazerac continued to produce Eagle Rare at 101° until 2005 when the whole thing was pretty much revamped. Then, in 1992, Sazerac purchased the brand and started distilling it at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. He created a new brand called (you guessed it) Eagle Rare, and it was a vatted 101° whiskey distilled at the Four Roses Distillery. Beam was the master distiller at Seagram's.
