Eagle Rare 12 Year
95 proof 12 years Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY $49.99 High corn, 7% rye, 4% malted barley
Nose

Richer oak and leather notes compared to the 10 year; deeper cherry character with chocolate undertones on the back end

Palate

Concentrated with loads of nutmeg spice, savory oak notes, subtle chocolate emerging on the finish

Finish

Slightly drier with lingering tobacco and oak; tobacco-forward in the empty glass

Above average
A mature step up from the ten-year with pronounced oak and spice that justifies the two-year age difference and slight proof increase.
