Eagle Rare 17 Year Bourbon (Fall 2023)

Nose - Lots of berries, cream, charred leather, toasted oak, hints of honey, mandarin, apricot. Extremely complex and keeps changing. Berry skittles. Palate - More of that toasted tight leather. Some more bright berry and soft vanilla (cream). A small amount of smoke from a charred oak. Finish - Nice and warm buttered cinnamon and barrel spice.

Really good- tastes like all the normal eagle rare 10 notes are distilled and magnified a few times over. Rich with a unique chocoloate note. Front to mid palette has nothing suprising beyond its richness. Great long finish.

Butterscotch and Crème Brulee flavors hold true with a warm mouth feel that lingers.

Not worth the money cause nothing is worth this but man this is so smooth and so good. No burn but such an amazing flavor

Maybe an obvious take, but this really tastes like more aged eagle rare lol. Like very similar flavor profile with some enhanced richness, sweetness, and interesting funky oak notes. However, i dont like eagle rare standard, i find it a little unpleasant with a dry bitter oak and a grapiness i dislike. While i like this better than standard eagle rare (2.75) i definitely wouldnt say i love it (3.25). Unbelievable how much money this goes for….
