Eagle Rare 17 Year Bourbon (Fall 2021)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 11, 2022 (edited August 12, 2022)Aroma - Man. This is a first.. It smells like new tires lol. It really does. I just cant get it out of my head. Outside of that.. I get a big oak profile, hints of wintergreen and cinnamon, black cherries. Its awesome. Taste - Leather, wet oak, black pepper, slight hint of cherry cough syrup. The finish is awesome and tons of different flavors dance all over the palate. Very long finish. Leather, caramel, vanilla, cherries. As weird as this description is… it’s unique and I think it is really awesome. -
Bardstown Bourbon Co. Fusion Series #7
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 5, 2022 (edited September 16, 2022)Aroma - brown sugar, almonds, apples, pears, pie crust baking spices. Sweet profile, quite a nice balance Taste - This is pretty good. Getting quite a bit of those same notes from the nose here. Big brown sugar, apples, berries and a slight spice. There’s a touch of old oak on the backend which really brings this into balance. Extremely smooth. Overall - above average at its price point. Really nice blend.. Definitely getting more of those younger 3 year whiskeys than the 12 years. -
Aroma - huge brown sugar and tropical fruits. Massively sweet. Rum is really shining through, hint of rye spice. Man I’m really liking this nose and really hoping the taste follows through. Taste - yes. This is what I was hoping for. That brown sugar, butterscotch and spice rum sweetness balancing out with the rye and tropical citrus notes. This is excellent summer night whiskey.

Reviewed July 24, 2022 (edited November 30, 2022)Aroma - peanut shells, huge red hot candies, ginger bread cookie, light vanilla frosting, cherry cola. Taste - man.. massive peanut presence on the first sip and even on the finish. Yea.. even on the second and proceeding sips, I’m gettin all peanuts. There is a slight flat cherry cola note. Touch of cinnamon and apples. Overall - nose was far superior to the palate. The amount of peanut-profile though is really extreme on this dram. -
