About Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (375mL)

The use of wooden barrels to store and transport liquids dates back to 2690 B.C., when ancient Egyptians during the Early Dynastic Period began replacing clay vessels with wooden casks in order to meet the demands of their sprawling civilization. The advantages of wooden barrels were evident — not only were they less fragile than clay vessels, but their cylindrical shape allowed them to be rolled rather than carried across short distances. As settlers along the Nile quickly realized, however, barrels made from wooden staves imparted a unique color and flavor profile to the liquids stored within.

Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (375ml) was matured for a minimum of ten years in new, American oak casks under the intense, Kentucky sun. As a result of its decade-long beautyrest, the bourbon has a golden honey color, along with an aroma of gentle toast, fresh tobacco and bananas. The aroma gives way to notes of chocolate, almonds, melons, raisins and dried fruits on the palate, which are complemented by a subtle vanilla undertone. The finish is long and fierce, with hints of roasted nuts and corn.

Eagle Rare 10 Year Old earned a score of 96 points from Wine Enthusiast and 95 points from Robert Parker. In addition, the bourbon earned the Gold Medal at the 2013 International Wine and Spirits Competition, where it was named the “Best Bourbon.”
