  • The oak has an old – almost varnish-like – taste to it that mingles with leather and char. The Flan note on the nose turns into toffee.

  • VinePair
  • By David Thomas Tao
  • The bourbon ensconces a number of distinct flavors — bright cherry, that pronounced cola, even fruit candy — within an oaky coating, all without letting wood push them to the fringes of detectability.

  • The palate is creamy, but held together well by balanced spice structure and tart cherry and apricot notes.

  • Breaking Bourbon
  • By Eric Hasman
  • Eagle Rare 12 Year Bourbon offers a familiar yet slightly tweaked profile compared to its 10 Year counterpart, featuring more prominent oak and baking spices notes, with an excellent warm brown sugar note that many won’t be able to resist.
