About Ha Eagle Rare 17Yr 2023
Eagle Rare 17 Year 2023 is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Sazerac Company Inc., bottled at 50.5% ABV (101 proof) and available in 750ml for $112.50. This release marks the oldest-ever Eagle Rare 17, aged to deliver bold, balanced flavors with prominent fruit, chocolate, oak, and a unique 'dusty' funk reminiscent of pre-2018 vintages. What makes it special is its exceptional complexity—cherry-forward profile across black, sweet, tart, and Maraschino varieties, paired with seasoned oak, rye spice, and lingering leather—earning high praise like 97/100 from VinePair for its breadth and depth without overpowering oak dominance. Ideal for seasoned bourbon enthusiasts seeking a refined sipper that rivals top high-aged releases, it stands out in its category against younger Eagle Rare or competitors by trading heavy fruit for spice and funky earthiness, making it one of the best 101-proof versions yet at a competitive price point.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma bursts with chocolate-covered cherries, flambéed plums, peaches, tart apples, and bananas foster, delivering a punchy yet vibrant profile. Wet seasoned oak, dark chocolate cherries, caramel, raspberry, brown sugar, and a distinctive dusty funk jump from the glass, evoking earthy undertones of older bourbons. Rich vanilla, brown sugar, oak, black cherries, and orange peel add layers of complexity.
👅 Palate
Cherry dominates in black, sweet, tart, and Maraschino forms, paired with frozen custard-like thickness, thin but effective mouthfeel, and equal flavor force. Seasoned oak, black currant, light caramel, vanilla swell into rye spice, with full-bodied, oily texture coating the tongue. Caramel sweetness, rich oak, cherry pie, rye spice, and coffee notes balance perfectly.
✨ Finish
Midpalate shifts to chocolate ganache, dried semi-sweet fruit, leather, and tart fruit leather on a lengthy, mouth-watering close with surprising complexity. Dry with white peppercorn, aged oak, and persistent dusty funk that lingers memorably.
