These are two Kentucky straight bourbons from different companies in the same proof class. Buffalo Trace’s Eagle Rare Aged 10 Years page prints 90 proof (45% ABV), a 10-year age line, and Mash Bill #1. Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select prints 90.4 proof (45.2%). A 1.5-ounce pour is 1.13 drinks at 45% and 1.13 at 45.2%. This is not a 2023 winner.
