The batch from 2014 at 129 proof tastes like Eagle Rare 10 at a high proof. My first thought when I was nosing the 2014 was "Eagle Rare!!". I wasn't exactly excited about that. The batch from 2015 at 127.2 proof tastes like Eagle Rare 17 at a high proof, with more oak. For my personal preference, the 2015 batch is far superior. [2nd tasting of the 129 proof last night. It has opened up. It's now tasting very similar to the 127.2; still similar to Eagle Rare 10 on the nose, but the flavors coming through now are without that metallic character] Not enough consistency from batch to batch. I tasted the 127.5 and it was awful
