Nose
Soft, clean. Palate
Lightly toffeeish. Sweet. Orangey. Some minty rye notes. Finish
Gentle. Slight citrus zest. Comment
More delicate and restrained than I expect from Eagle Rare...distinctly the sweeter of the Bourbons in this tasting.
Dave Broom
Nose
Full-on, rich sweet nose: candy, caramelised oak. Palate
Big, chewy and sweet with a fresh oily zap on the back palate stopping it from becoming too cloying. Finish
Long, slightly hot. Comment
Big and sweet. Scale down the sweet vermouth when making your Manhattan.
