Eagle Rare 17 Year Bourbon (Fall 2018) is a Kentucky straight bourbon and is one of five bottlings in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection released each fall. Distilled in spring 2000, the bourbon was warehoused on the 1st, 2nd, and 5th floors of Warehouse C. Most notably, there is a change in proof from 90 proof to 101 proof. This increase marks a permanent change to the brand and is a tribute to the original strength when the brand launched in 1974.

Nose is buttery and fruity, almost floral. A mouthful of wow. Carmel ,vanilla and barrel char. Just everything your hope for. Some spice in there as well, which is odd for er
4.6 oak at first on the nose and then some caramel and candy as it opens up. A little oily, mineral and oak on the tongue. Pretty solid, would drink again.
Caramel on caramel. You can smell this pour from a mile away. Marshmallow heat, not terrible thick though, drinks incredibly smooth, almost too smooth.
An absolutely amazing whisky. Not as strong of burn on the finished as EHT Barrel proof. The perfect amount of oaky, nutty, sweet caramel.
Second ER17 ive had. Damn good but doesnt hold up to the other big boys.
$27 for 2 oz pour. Would love to find a bottle at retail.
