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.
Amazing! With my lasting memory or Bourbon being JD and coke in my 20s I was reluctant to try again in. However as I approach 40 and having made my way round a good number of scotch and Indian single malts I gave this a try. Truly one the best spirits I have ever tried. 45 percent makes all the difference for the arrival. Stunning at any price!!
Absolutely loved it. My mouth just explodes with delight when even the smallest dram enters it. Sweet and woody at it's best. It's made me a true convert from Whisky.
I can’t understand the adverse reviews of this lovely mature bourbon. I know people’s taste differs but to my taste it is very good indeed.
Hard to beat for the price! Stupid of me to say since it’s becoming less available, but it’s a great value.
A bit thin and unremarkable, but with enough flavor and punch to be a big step up from bottom-shelf bourbons. This is a good mixer, or it can serve as a standby bourbon to keep on the shelf for the times when you have finished off your good stuff and need a drink.
