Tasting Notes

Nose

Aged leather and pipe tobacco lead, with dark cherry, oiled oak, and a thread of orange peel rising from beneath a soft caramel sweetness.

Palate

Burnished oak and toffee unfurl across the tongue, joined by stewed dark fruit, espresso, and the dusty cocoa of an old library. Beautifully restrained at 50.5%.

Finish

Long, dry, and dignified — leather, charred oak, and lingering bittersweet chocolate that fades like a closing chord.

Expert Review

9/10

The crown jewel of the Eagle Rare line and a perennial unicorn in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Seventeen years of Kentucky patience folded into a single glass.
