Tastes

Did not mind paying $39 at all for eagle rare. It starts off with dark fruits for me. Mostly cherries with a deep oak, which I assume comes from the 10 year age statement. The spice hits mid palate, and finish is chocolate, caramel, vanilla dessert.

Definitely rye-forward. Mouthfeel is more oily in my opinion than the bourbon line. The spice comes through on the nose with hints of dark cherry, vanilla, and a medicinal herbal note. Palate is full of spicy rye and vanilla. With ice, the spice and alcohol notes find their way through more than the desired cherry and vanilla. I prefer to drink neat as of right now Heard someone say they got strawberries and cream with floral notes on the nose. While thinking about these, those exact notes stuck out immediately

First nose reminds me of dark chocolate desserts. Immediately on the palate I got chocolate and coffee. Chocolate coffee sweet cake. Experts say slight mint, but I get more of an essential oil spearmint. Coats the mouth well and medium finish

NUTTY. Almost reminds me of drinking peanut butter. Wave of vanilla after the nuttiness subsides

More pronounced than regular MM. More aggressive oak flavors while keeping the original sweetness of vanilla and caramel. Wheat bread on the nose as well

Very soft and mild. Vanilla and caramel forward

Smoothest bourbon I’ve had considering 80 proof. Silky smooth on the pallet. I was very impressed with the balance and flavors with a lower proof. Classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla, spice, and sweetness

One of the hottest and spiciest bourbons I’ve had. Strong alcohol with a long heat and burning finish. Vanilla is the main tasting note I got. Not my favorite but to each their own

Well balanced. Definitely a classic and versatile bourbon. Oak, caramel, vanilla, fruit sweetness, alcohol

Rising heat and spice that builds quickly and stays through the finish. Oily and coats the pallet quickly with a long finish
