Eagle Rare has been a long time favorite of mine. I only wish it was as easy to find as other bottles in that $30 range. But hey, they call it “rare” for a reason. Sweet oak, vanilla, and some citrus on the nose. Very approachable and welcoming for aficionados and newcomers alike. The sweetness carries over into the palate with a delicious blend of rich honey, caramel, and chocolate candy. The honey notes I pick up on in the palate get even better on the finish. It definitely warms up but doesn’t get “hot” my any stretch of the imagination. I love this pour. It’s a mainstay in my collection and something I reach for whenever I’m craving a rich, easy drinker. (So yeah, all the time.) 4.5/5
