Eagle Rare 10 Year Review
Comparisons with this bourbon's 17-year-old elder sibling are lazy and focus on what it's not, rather than what it is. This is a 10-year-old Buffalo Trace bottling that remains relatively affordable and easy to find. Its profile is sweet, mellow, and approachable but doesn't lack nuance. There are definite signs of maturity, too, with hints of leather and tobacco nicely complementing its vanilla and caramel core.
Eagle Rare 10 Year Pros And Cons
Pros
- Remains relatively affordable, unlike many Buffalo Trace bottlings
- Well rounded profile
- Some signs of maturation
Cons
- Hard to find in liquor stores
- Often falls victim of price gouging
