About this bottle

Buffalo Trace announced the Double Eagle Very Rare Bourbon in early February 2019. This Kentucky straight bourbon is named for the length of its age which at 20 years is twice as long as the standard Eagle Rare Bourbon at 10 years. The packaging for the limited edition release comes courtesy of a crystal decanter and a silver presentation box. The crystal decanter bears two eagles, one inside and one atop as the stopper. The box features two sliding doors which triggers a light above and below the bottle to highlight the eagle inside. Bottled at 90 proof only 299 bottles were created. Expect the next release in spring 2020.

Have to give big time thanks to the VP of my company for this sample. Look: Dark amber, burnt orange in color, translucent, with the usual lacing Nose: crazy to say this, but I get a grape on the nose, followed by more barrel, and spice. Really perfumy in a good way Palate: Fruity initially, followed by mild wood and then a bunch of cinnamon spice. Finish: there’s some slight heat but the finish is pretty mellow and enjoyable. Lot of flavor on the way down, cinnamon and oak. Overall: an impressive bottle, but I don’t think anything can justify the retail of this. Would I love to have it? Absolutely.
