Eagle Rare 10 year old

Kentucky Straight Bourbon

In honor of the Kentucky Derby, the note of the week features one of our favorite bourbons.
 
Wow! This is like drinking a carnival, which may not make much sense, until you nose this. Candy corn, raspberries, lavender, french toast (without the syrup), cotton candy, with soft burnt caramel undertones. To use a technical term: very yummy. The caramel on the palate doesn’t disappoint, and neither does the finish, full of orange zest, the missing maple syrup, and unpopped popcorn kernels. A beautifully complex bourbon. Get some!

Cheers!
