Eagle Rare 10 year old Straight, 45%

Price: 30 Issue: Summer 2019 Reviewer: Jeffery Lindenmuth Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Sweet candy shop, nougat, and honeycomb flavors are underscored by some funky earth and mushroom notes. The palate is sweet and lively, delivering orange peel and subtle hints of baking spice. Overall a pleasant pour, with the only criticism that it feels rather light-bodied, with the oak a bit sharp. Adding water makes this bourbon feel underpowered and hollow, but it is a fine sipper otherwise.
