Black Eagle, 40%

Price: 12 Issue: Fall 2013 Reviewer: Lew Bryson Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Quite pale, looks more like scotch. Nose is hot, sweet, a bit minty. Hot in the mouth, thin, sweet, with flashy mint and corn. Finish is fiery, and a tad bitter with wood, especially bitey high in the mouth. Young, rough, and without the raunchy fullness that can justify youthful braggadocio. There are better bourbons for only a dollar or two more. Sourced whiskey.
