Tasting Notes
Nose
I enjoyed many notes off this whiskey. Aloe, cardamom, brown sugar, along with elements that I find in some red wine, grapes ripened in the sun. Easily discernible. Sweet coconut, suntan lotion, vanilla, and marshmallow. First off, fresh as a daisy. Oftentimes the whiskey feels musky or stale on the nose, but this bourbon comes off clean. There are notes of underripe fruit, vanilla, juniper berry, and patchouli. Very subtle here, especially when dealing with the other whiskeys in the collection. I got notes of honeysuckle, citrus rind, caraway, and tobacco leaf. Pleasant like a country grandmothers kitchen. Notes of baking apples hit me in the face right away, along with fresh fig, spiced cider, honey, and vanilla.
Palate
begged for a drop or two of water when tasting. An honoree of the Chairmans Trophy at the 2022 Ultimate Spirits Challenge, Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old Bourbon was a personal favorite in this tasting. The bourbon is aged in oak barrels and is well worth the wait, with a complex flavor profile that welcomes a conscious examination as opposed to mindless consumption. This collection is highly sought after, and so even mentioning the price seems obsolete, but it does have an SRP of $99/bottle. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on the 2022 BATC I salute you and enjoy! Buffalo Trace Antique Collection 2022 (image via Buffalo Trace) Tasting Notes: George T.
