About Eagle Rare
Eagle Rare is a 10-year-old straight bourbon whiskey produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery (Sazerac Company) that has earned the distinction of being the only bourbon to win the double gold medal five times. Bottled at 45% ABV, it represents an exceptional value in the premium bourbon category at $33.75 per 750ml bottle. Eagle Rare is characterized by its approachable yet complex flavor profile, making it suitable for both seasoned bourbon enthusiasts and newcomers to aged whiskeys. Its low-rye mashbill produces a balanced expression that emphasizes corn sweetness and oak influence without the aggressive spice of high-rye bourbons. As an elevated daily dram, it delivers sophisticated flavors at a dependable price point, offering excellent versatility for neat sipping, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose presents a complex bouquet of sweet candied apple, vanilla, and caramel, with prominent notes of toffee, orange peel, and well-aged oak. Subtle spice elements including cinnamon and nutmeg emerge alongside hints of cherry and honeycomb, creating an inviting and layered aromatic experience that evolves as the whiskey opens up.
👅 Palate
The palate is sweet and lively with a light to medium body, delivering flavors of brown sugar, honey, and candied almonds balanced by subtle baking spice and orange peel. The mouthfeel is silky and approachable with a velvety texture, though the body verges on light, making it an exceptionally easy sipper that doesn't overwhelm the palate.
✨ Finish
The medium-length finish is warm and slightly dry, anchored by lingering vanilla, caramel, and oak with hints of cinnamon and black pepper. The finish maintains the sweetness established on the palate while introducing subtle earthiness and spice that provide depth without harsh astringency.
