Eagle Rare is a straight bourbon, aged approximately 10 years, bottled at 45% abv, and is an undisclosed Buffalo Trace mash bill #1 expression (possible low rye mash). It had a decent taste and is a little spicy on the tongue. When ice is added, it dilutes too quickly, and the flavor rapidly disappears. Add a few drops of water and the flavors opens up and holds a little better. Eagle Rare also won a bunch of awards. Congratulations, I hope the metal was very shinny and the ribbon was soft and silky.
It is decent bourbon, but it was not really fooling me to be amazing at the price versus Buffalo Trace’s baseline price of $35+. Recently on the JRE Podcast a guest asked Joe Rogan why he did not have any Eagle Rare in his studio since he is sponsored by Buffalo Trace. I give that guy credit, he did his homework.
Priced around $45 and it’s fine to drink, but it is not fooling me to be anything too special.
