Eagle Rare 10 Year Bourbon

Delicious charred finish, as with most Buffalo Trace products. This drinks very thin - if you are used to higher proof bourbons, you're going to feel that its lacking. Not worth its unicorn status, but pick it up at or near MSRP.

For my tastes, this is one of my favorite bourbons. I get a sweet vanilla and cherry flavor some chewy caramel. I think it has very little alcohol burn, and i enjoy the oak character. I would pay just above retail, though i prefer not to. I would need to be out of my ER reserves. I give this a 9 out of 10 for a daily drinker. As much as I love it, its not a special occasion pour.

It needs some water or one ice cube, alcohol heat without it… even with the water/ice, still leaves a dry like taste ag the end.

Boirbon elegante, com alcool firme, toffee e potência equilibrada. Notas de maple syrup, frutas e caramelado.

The nose started off a little ethanol forward with whiffs of caramel, butterscotch and vanilla. As it sat in the glass, a grassy oak note appeared The palate showed the low proof with very little of the ethanol from the nose. The mouthfeel was a little thin but pleasnt enough to make this an easy bourbon to enjoy neat for new comers. The butterscotch, vanilla and hints of sweet caramel were there but not enough saltyness to make these flavors really pop The finish was short and literally sweet. You would expect a ten year bourbon to have more oak influence but I believe the low proof keeps leather and tannins at bay. A somewhat simple finish and overall experience given the overhyped nature of this bourbon
