The only bourbon to ever win the double gold medal five times at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Eagle Rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is masterfully crafted and carefully aged for no less than ten years. The uniqueness of this great breed of bourbon is shown in its complex aroma, as well as the smooth and lingering taste. Eagle Rare is a bourbon that lives up to its name with its lofty, distinctive taste experience.
"The bright honey/topaz colour shows sparkling bronze; core features impeccable purity; the early aromas include gentle grain, toasted honey-wheat bread and tobacco leaf. With aeration, the aroma quickly transforms into a pedal-to-the-metal Bourbon bouquet as evolved scents of ripe banana and charcoal tweak the olfactory sense in the middle stage whiffs—fragrances of lanolin, almond butter, melon and oil accent the toastiness beautifully—it's a somewhat restrained, or better, understated aroma, but I sense lots of power lying just beneath the surface; my, my, my, what have we here—in the mouth, this oily, toasty beauty seduces the taste buds at palate entry with dry flavours of cereal grain and mild oak resin—the mid-palate tastes explode on the tongue in unabashedly sweet and oily flavours of black raisins, grapefruit, charred oak and candied almonds; the finish is long, corny sweet, moderately fiery and lasciviously oily; easily one of the most tactile yet assertive and expressive Bourbons I've tasted in the last two years; fasten your seat belts."
Paul Pacult, The Spirit Journal
