Similar profile to Eagle Rare (same mash bill, distillery etc), but way more ethanol vapors. That is true on the nose and the finish, ouch. It really covers up the subtle aromas that are present. I tasted this along side Eagle Rare, just to do a direct comparison. I hate to say it, because I paid top $ for both of these bottles, but I like Eagle Rare a lot more. It’s way smoother and the lack of ethanol vapors allows its flavors and aromas to come through.
