About this bottle

Eagle Rare 17 Year has been a part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection since it was first released in 2000. Like George T. Stagg, Eagle Rare is also made with a low-rye bourbon recipe. For the Fall 2023 release, Buffalo Trace actually selected barrels aged 19 years and 3 months old making this the oldest ever since its introduction to the collection. It was distilled in spring 2004 and was matured in Warehouses C, I, K, M, and Q. It was bottled at 101 proof and has a suggested retail price of $124.99. Availability begins in early October 2023 at select retailers.

Maybe an obvious take, but this really tastes like more aged eagle rare lol. Like very similar flavor profile with some enhanced richness, sweetness, and interesting funky oak notes. However, i dont like eagle rare standard, i find it a little unpleasant with a dry bitter oak and a grapiness i dislike. While i like this better than standard eagle rare (2.75) i definitely wouldnt say i love it (3.25). Unbelievable how much money this goes for….

Nose - Lots of berries, cream, charred leather, toasted oak, hints of honey, mandarin, apricot. Extremely complex and keeps changing. Berry skittles. Palate - More of that toasted tight leather. Some more bright berry and soft vanilla (cream). A small amount of smoke from a charred oak. Finish - Nice and warm buttered cinnamon and barrel spice.

Cole Benson 4.5

Really good- tastes like all the normal eagle rare 10 notes are distilled and magnified a few times over. Rich with a unique chocoloate note. Front to mid palette has nothing suprising beyond its richness. Great long finish.

Not worth the money cause nothing is worth this but man this is so smooth and so good. No burn but such an amazing flavor

Butterscotch and Crème Brulee flavors hold true with a warm mouth feel that lingers.
