Eagle Rare Bourbon 17

Eagle Rare Bourbon version of their Eagle Rare 17 Year Old Bourbon was barreled in 1999 in new white oak with a #4 “alligator” char level at 125 proof. The mash was made from Kentucky corn, Minnesota rye and North Dakota Distillers malted barley. It spent the next 17 years patiently aging in warehouses H and K on the first, second and third floors. Thirty two barrels Eagle Rare Bourbon were chosen by taste, the whiskey was chill filtered, and then cut to 90 proof. A whopping 66%+ was lost to angels’ share before Spring 2016 bottling.Eagle Rare Bourbon bourbon ages in oak barrels for nearly two decades and is only available in small quantities once a year

eagle rare 17 Tasting Notes

Nose: It is very inviting on the nose. It is not aggressive, but readily available with aromas of leather, candied fruit, oak and vanilla. There is a slight alcohol burn on the nose as well.

Palate: The taste profile of eagle rare bourbon is a little more aggressive than the nose and more aggressive than previous years. However, the flavors match well with the perceived aromas. Flavors of leather, oak, vanilla with just a hint of tobacco and toffee are easily detected early on. The unusual part of this bourbon experience is that most of the flavor action is from the front to mid-mouth area.

Reviews: Rating:  5 stars/Highest Recommendation
“One of the best Eagle Rare 17s ever and perhaps my favorite.”
– F. Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal

Wine Enthusiast Rating: 96
“The finish is very leathery and very long”
–Wine Enthusiast Magazine

Finish: The finish is long in repeated multiple waves of activity from front to back until it settles in mid-mouth for a prolonged experience.
