Eagle Rare 17 2012 Release

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 45%

Score: 93 Points

Part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, with a warm, smooth nose full of honey, oak, molasses, brown sugar, and allspice. The taste is spicy with black pepper followed by a cinnamon wave, honey and brown sugar adding balance underneath and a hint of oaky smoke to pull it all together. The finish is long and spicy, but smooth with cinnamon and honey notes.
