Take a whiff of this stellar bourbon and your senses are flooded with notes of vanilla and oak. The palate packs a similar punch, with wonderful spices rounding out the corn flavors. This whiskey tastes very "dense" and the full-mouth feel is quite pleasing. Eagle Rare also boasts a surprisingly gentle finish which can probably be attributed to the decade-long maturation. Ranks alongside Elijah Craig 12 and Evan Williams Single Barrel as one of the best values in bourbon today.
