Intro:
This is a small format bottle of a WB Liquors selection of Eagle Rare 10. Eagle Rare 10 uses Buffalo Traces Mashbill 1 mashbill and is aged for 10 years.
-
Nose:
Sweet vanilla, oak, passion fruit, caramel and toffee. Nice tobacco presence.
-
Taste:
Medium mouth feel, no heat. Vanilla, tobacco, oak and pleasant cocoa influence. Lacking a lot of the fruitiness I get in some Eagle Rare 10 iterations, but making up for it in reach dessert richness without overbearing, bitter oak.
-
Finish:
Medium length, faint oak, cocoa and tobacco. Vanilla icing and some mild orange peel are present also. Really interesting.
-
Overall:
Definitely a unique profile for most Eagle Rare 10, this was delicious and interesting all at once. I found myself going to this bottle over and over and over because of how unique it was, and to my dismay, I came to the bottom far faster than I was expecting to.
