| Description: | Eagle Rare 17 Year Old Bourbon Appearance: Deep red/gold in the bottle, shows its age quite well.You rarely see this color in a whiskey as it denotes a great deal of maturity and aging.To see this color in a single malt scotch it would have to be a to older and about 4 - 10 x more expensive. It is a beautiful thing. On swirling it leaves a thicker coating on the glass and has more legs and heavier body than George T. Stagg or Buffalo Trace Bourbon. First Impression: Dry, almost amontillado-like bouquet, leather, and on more warming: char, toffee, some spicyness, and a faint trace of marzipan. Taste: Dry start, like a old dry sherry at first, medium mouth feel, somewhat like a Xo cognac, whisper down the throat and then leaves a rather delicate warming considering the 90 proof almost ethereal in nature, but unlike a lot of older bourbon still has a lot of life left to it. Most bourbons don't stand up to age well, they have a very turbulent ride to adolescence in new fresh charred barrels and dramatic temperature swings hence intense respiration in the barrel which leads to a very rapid aging compared to the sedate pace of other spirits many of which use recycled barrels. |
