Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 70cl | 45% ABV

Eagle Rare really enhances a well-made Old Fashioned cocktail. Fabulous choice for cocktails of all kind that require a deep Bourbon influence. Significantly nicer taste than Wild Turkey 101, or Woodford Reserve Double Oaked.

This is nectar. Smooth and full of flavour, it is a rare treat that is hard to find in parts of the USA, due to popularity. Made by Buffalo Trace, it has the same flavour profile as the self-named Buffalo Trace bourbon. It is just that it is more rounded, smooth and tasty (and a little stronger). It's about twice the price of BT, but is it worth it? Well it isn't twice as good, but it is well worth the price asked. Which only goes to show what value BT is. Try Buffalo Trace first, if you are unsure. It will give you an idea of the flavour to expect, at nearly half the price. There is room for both though. Keep this for a treat and BT as a staple.

Nice and smooth will look out for another deal on this one.

Eagle Rare is a fantastic bourbon that most people will probably like. This bourbon has a strong taste with the ten years added to this specific bourbon. Which is great! The flavour of this bourbon, however, is hard to decide on due to how complex and *not* satisfying it can be. Now, the flavour is nice. But it doesn't go down as smoothly if you compare it to Four Roses or even Woodford Reserve. I do think it's unfair to compare bourbons against one another, so I will conclude with this final thought. The flavour is sweet, fruity, slight hint of toffee as an after taste and oak. I love it, but my only disappointment with it is that the flavour is quick, strong, delicious BUT doesn't last long on the tongue. Which is my only gripe. But don't let that persuade you otherwise, if you're new to bourbons then this is a good starting point. So with that said, this is more than worth the price. If you want a really nice bourbon, whether if you're starting out or a long time whisky drinker then I totally recommend it. You will not be disappointed by the flavours that this bourbon offers. Lastly, the presentation is fantastic. Such a beautiful bottle with a nice design. My only dislike is the fancy wrapping around the lid of the bottle and was quite difficult to peel off from my own personal experience. Other than that, great drink. Totally worth it.

It's a bold claim but (without sounding like an alcoholic which I'm not) I've drunk a fair amount of bourbon. This is in my opinion the best one under £60. I'd actually go as far as to say it's nicer than its £180 18-year old big brother! It is nice in cocktails but feels a waste if I'm honest so this is a 'sipper' only in my household. My normal human nose and taste buds can't really pick out massive tasting notes, although there is a hint of caramel and vanilla in there I'm sure.... It's really smooth.... like the way you wish your wife's legs were. It's not harsh with a bitter aftertaste just how you wish your wife was in general.... And best of all, drink enough and it makes you forget about your wife altogether.

Eagle Rare is basically a starter bourbon intgo the world of better tasting bourbons. It's got a great sweet taste, it goes down smoothly and it's a great price. It's still one of my favourites.

The colour of the eagle rare is beautiful not as nice as the taste I would definitely recommend getting a couple of these in ! There going to be worth soo much money in a year it’s just sensible to get it now!! A real flavour bomb

Nice bottle great gift

Un très bon Bourbon, plus riche en saveurs, plus puissant et moins "sec" que le Marker's Mark que j'ai l'habitude de consommer. Une belle découverte grâce à Amazon, car ce bourbon n'est pas facile à trouver. Il est de plus présenté dans une magnifique bouteille, l'aigle en vol étant gravé. On ne va pas oublier que ce bourbon est 100% américain ! S'accorde bien avec un cigare (testé avec Macanudo Inspirado White). A offrir ou à s'offrir les yeux fermés.

El mejor bourbon que he probado hasta la fecha. Se parece al buffalo trace pero con más sabor a barrica, a roble, es lo que más destaca en este whisky. El resto es muy parecido, vainilla y toffe clásicos del bourbon. Es prácticamente el mismo whisky que el hermano pequeño pero con unos años más. Tiene un 45% pero aún así se me hace más suave que algunos escoceses baratos de 40%. Mejor y más complejo que Makers Mark o que Woodford reserve entre otros de los muchos bourbons que he probado, pero igual por 44 euros no merece la pena en comparación a pillar Buffalo Trace o Wild Turkey 101 que son mejores valores por el precio. Este es más para ocasiones especiales.

I do enjoy Eagle Rare, it's a lovely burbon. It's rich in flavour, sweet but not sickly, beautiful caramel notes, wood notes, vanilla and more. For me this works best with a few drops of water allowing the flavours to come to the fore. Very very nice.

Der Eagle Rare kommt in einer eleganten Flasche, die im Regal und als Geschenk etwas her macht, zumal die 10 Jahre Lagerung für einen Bourbon ja auch schon ganz ordentlich sind. Die Nase enthält nur einen ganz zarten Hauch Ester, der überhaupt nicht störend ist und der so typisch für die Bourbon-Charakteristik ist. Ganz anders als z.B. ein Makers Mark, der nach Klebstoff riecht. Geschmacklich dominieren Holz, Nuss, Kakao - also insgesamt eher herbere Noten, aber gut ausbalanciert. Ich würde dem Eagle Rare eine mittlere Komplexität attestieren, die auch dem Preisniveau entspricht. Insgesamt ein Bourbon der gehobenen Klasse, den man pur und ungekühlt trinkt. Einige Tropfen Wasser aus der Pipette lassen die Aromen noch etwas besser zur Geltung kommen (durch den physikalischen Effekt der Erwärmung, die durch die Verdünnung ausgelöst wird). Für Cocktails ist er fast zu schade - allenfalls würde ich ihn für Cocktails mit hohem Whiskey-Anteil nehmen, wie Old Fashioned. Der Preis ist der Qualität angemessen. Der Eagle Trace ist besser als etwa der Bulleit 10 Jahre, erreicht aber nicht ganz den (etwas teureren) Legent, ist also sowohl hinsichtlich Preis wie Qualität irgendwo dazwischen anzusiedeln. Ich vergebe dennoch fünf Sterne, weil er er ein guter Bourbon zu einem passenden Preis ist. Ich hoffe, dass meine ehrliche Bewertung nützlich ist.

Trés bon produit pour les amateurs de Bourbon. Je recommande vivement mais avec modération.
