I just finished a glass of Eagle Rare 10 and wanted to compare it to another buffalo trace bourbon. This is more of a comparison. Blanton's is much sweeter, more vanilla and less harsh. It is smoother and less full bodied. Its dripping in honey. Not as bold or spicy or full bodied as eagle rare. I taste some hints of oak. Syrupy. Definite hints of cherry on the nose, not so much in the taste. Its a great pour and I can see why its so highly sought after (besides just having a cool bottle).
