Daily drinker and great bargain that can always be found on store shelves; overall a heavy fruit (orange, citrus, cherry) bomb tingling the palate with flavors that linger for awhile; very subtle hints of barrel oak; quick explosion of sweetness, some oak and pepper on presentation; caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and sweet nose with some fruitiness present; very rich finish with peppery oak and still lingering citrus. Alot to ponder and explore.

Baker's Single Barrel Bourbon 7 Year
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 18, 2023 (edited December 12, 2023)Nutty, oak and vanilla; sweet, fruity nose with hints of vanilla; wood and oak and spice come to the forefront immediately with orange citrus hints that follow on finish; tannins come out on chew with some tangs after initial smoothness; spicy pop on finish; 107 proof is not readily apparent and alcohol does not take over tasting experiennce nor appears on nose. -
Citrus heavy profile but not sweet; initial caramel, corn palate then quickly taken over by oak and peppery spice; wood oak and pepper spice chew, but not overpowering oak for a 10 year. Hints of vanilla and caramel corn with peppery spice that lingers on tongue. Worth price point if found for MSRP or slightly above.

Eagle Rare 10 Year Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 18, 2023 (edited December 11, 2023)Smooth, well bodied experience. Seems to get better with air and chewing; mellow, oak notes consistent from palate to finish; very little pepper and spice or tannins; some sweet caramel on finish; very easy and smooth sipper with well rounded fullness. Bourbon beginners will love it but I enjoy it as I return to it for a pour too.
