Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Single Barrel

Nose, Taste, Finish and Balance are graded out of 2.5 each:

Nose: A restrained depth immediately hits you upon first nosing of this bourbon, an enveloping aroma of honeycomb, banana and vanillas, with even a hint of caramelised orange peel and fortified flowers. Mesmerising. 2.5

Taste: The delivery is full and weighty, enticing you to just chew away to your heart's content. Voluptuous vanillas and deluxe candy floss are serenaded by a sumptuous spice from the rye, while the oak offers an earthy balance from which a few more subtle banana notes can still work their magic. 2.5

Finish: A lingering spice explosion is delivered in gradual instalments, slowly expanding until your whole palate is submerged in rye. As the dust settles we can start to make out hints of dried banana and a marmalade made from the caramelised orange peel encountered on the nose. 2.0

Balance: This bourbon has all the allure of a svelte thoroughbred racehorse, an intoxicating combination of power and grace, delivered with impeccable precision and restraint. This certainly ranks amongst the finest bourbons I have had the pleasure of tasting. 2.0
