Eagle Rare 17 Year Bourbon (Fall 2019)

Much better than the previous and great in general. The nose for me is dark caramel forward with light apples and cereal on the edges. There is a slight spice to the whiskey that's filled with dark cherries and more caramel. The finish is a rush a dark cherry and a return of the cereal to blend with the dark caramel. Love the finish and the balance of the whiskey overall. Pleased that they were able to develop a redemptive product this year.

Sweet smell a Lil alcohol in the nose.

Oak and berries on the nose. Cinnamon and custard palate. Not too hot at 90 proof. Delicious bourbon worth $22 a pour.

The color is a rich anger that heavily coats the glass and starts there. The nose sweet and oaky with citrus, char, pastry cream and caramel coming together for a wonderful experience. The palate is very smooth and oaky with a hint of spicy pastry cream, creating a very rich and chewy palate. The sweetness keeps the palate together, with creamy oak and pastry cream linger for a medium long finish, while the palate comes together and fades nicely.

Nose: heavy heavy cherries. Very smooth. Buttercream. Palate: very spicy but smooth. Cherries on the secondary and a good amount of oak to finish it out. Finish: oaky and sweet. Very very long finish and so smooth all the way through.

Dreamy. Nose full of honey, wood, and dark fruit. Don’t stick your nose in the glass, let this one come to you, because it really blossoms... and if you get too big of a nose it can overwhelm. Cherry and vanilla on the palate, sweet and smooth with just the right amount of spice joining the party late... neither syrupy, nor punchy, nor over-oaked. Finish lasts forever, with the fruit exiting first and wood/spice lingering with a pleasant warmth. Unlike some of its barrel proof BTAC siblings, this one’s a soft-spoken all-star.
