All the way from the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, comes Eagle Rare 10 Year Old. A spectacular Kentucky straight Bourbon whiskey, matured for at least a decade before making its way into its distinctive bottles at 45% ABV. What's so distinctive about the bottles, you ask? Well, we're going to say it's the massive bald eagle, wings outstretched, looking like it's about to snatch up some dinner. Distinctive, yes? The whiskey is also pretty distinctive too, boasting full-bodied notes of cinder toffee, orange peel and buttery corn.
Toasted oak gives way to flamed orange peel and maple syrup.
Honey, buttered bread, oily walnuts and a touch of red fruit.
Vanilla, oak spice and a little bit of old leather.
Honey, spices and Vanilla galore. One of the best Bourbons, and at an incredible price. Ive been drinking this as a go to for many years..
As an avid fan of Buffalo Trace I couldn't wait to try Eagle Rare. I wasn't disappointed. My pallet is not the most sophisticated, so I won't delve into the intricate tasting notes. What I will say though is classic bourbon - the oak and fruit is all there. 10 years aged certainly makes this smooth, almost too much so. It's very drinkable and more-ish. As a Brit who has to pay a premium for good bourbon, this has become a firm favourite. Dropped to 4/5 stars as it could do with just a little more bite. For the price Wild Turkey 101 is perhaps the better deal.
Reminds me of Raisin Bran: whiffs of bran, raisins, sugar. It’s good, but not overly impressive. A good value at MSRP-don’t pay more. Nice part of my collection.
ER 10yr has fairly strong and sweet corn notes along with a vanilla blast and a solid and very welcome hit of oak to balance it out. As a casual sipper, no complaints. ER tastes very similar to regular Buffalo Trace and considering that they share the same mash bill, which is 85%corn <10%rye and 5% barley that is no surprise Around my city Lincoln Ne, Buffalo Trace is usually priced about 5 to $7 cheaper than ER 10 yr , but I still keep a bottle of ER 10yr in my private stash with no regrets.
At first it tasted like wood, a bit nutty and barrel spices so I thought this was average at best. Then the berries hit me. I never expected a bourbon to be so delectably fruity like a berry potpourri. Sure the mouthfeel is unremarkable, but the smell and flavour are enjoyable and solid. It's been aged enough that nothing sticks out in a bad way, all the roughness has been sanded off. Maybe that's one of its weakness? apart from the barrel spice and unconventional berry flavour it's nothing too special, but when you just want to kick back and sip then this is perfect. Just don't expect something overly complex. It's 45%, stands out by being a fruity bourbon, not overly sweet, aged enough to get it mellowed, and quasi single barrel (you might get a bit two barrels mixed together if at the end/beginning of a cask but for all intents and purposes this is a single barrel). If you like bourbon and want to try something different and fruity (a bit like irish whiskey but not quite), or if you just want an introduction to single barrels then this one is a damn solid choice! Especially for the price.
