About this deal

I can’t tell you how many bottles of Eagle Rare I have walked by. They might as well have been invisible to me, and it’s not just the transparent bottle. Perhaps the relatively good availability lulled me into a sense of complacency regarding this brand. Originally created by Seagram in 1975 as a 101 proof (50.5% ABV) bourbon whiskey, the Eagle Rare brand was acquired by current owners Sazerac in 1989. The 101 proof version was discontinued in the middle of the last decade, leaving us with the current offering.

On the nose: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord! This might be the most cheery nose on a bourbon I have tried. It’s so… good. There’s a wave of creamy vanilla to start. Underlying that is a luscious, juicy cherry at perfect ripeness, with a balanced tart nuance. All this is covered by a gooey layer of melted milk chocolate. I want to make a pie out of this. There’s also undertones of muddy clumps of earth and damp wood, in the best of ways. Once diluted with water, the flavors become more complex: dried fruits are added, apricots in particular. The vanilla aroma remains the same, with the added complexity that comes from mixing different flavors. And on top of that, you can smell nutmeg when combined with the presence of sugar molasses. Flavor This is another of those whiskys that make me feel I’m out of the loop. I never really liked Eagle Rare. Odd as I love most of BT’s whisky. I’ve had the 101 proof before, I wasn’t so fond of it as well. It’s just a very well rounded bourbon and it is very reasonably priced for a 10 year release, meaning it makes a great daily drinker to have on the shelf. It has been known to vary slightly in quality from batch to batch but is generally very dependable.As per Bourbonr, the distillery uses two main mash bills for their bourbon, simply called #1 and #2, and two specialty mash bills, a wheated and a rye. While popular and coveted brands such as Blanton's use mash bill #2, Eagle Rare shares its mash with brands like E.H. Taylor, Jr. and the flagship and namesake bourbon of the distillery Buffalo Trace.

If you feel like you’re having a hard time choosing what bourbon to buy then your main decision should be between Maker’s Mark and Eagle Rare.

Dwayne, thanks for your comments. It’s been an eventful 19 months since this review was published; I hope some of the reactions to this piece might have been reconsidered in light of the many transformative changes in our national discourse since then. John, I have the same whiskeys- ones that people go gaga over that leave me totally cold. As you note, there’s as many tastes and preferences as there are folks in the world. Sniffing the first round of this you can tell it has an incredibly rich and woody aroma. The scent affirms that caramel, vanilla, fuji apple, cinnamon, and allspice tend to complement each other. Wood from older barrels and peanut-flavored candy also show up. Give it a 10-minutes time and you will start to sense the incredible smell of musty raisins. The first scent to reach your nose when you bring it up to your face is your original interaction with the bourbon. Initially, with the first sniff, the aroma is a little sharp, just like when an eagle is holding onto its prey. But when the aroma is released, the sharpness vanishes, and a saturated, classic vanilla-caramel scent is revealed. After a few sniffs, you can tell that there’s a secret door to a delicious cherry-sugary world. You get candied cherry, cane sugar, and overgrown fruits. And you can scent the pleasant fragrance of the old cellar.James "Jim" Beam and Joe Beam were the grandsons of Jacob Beam. Jim in particular continued his grandfather's legacy and founded James Beam Bourbon. Meanwhile, Charles Beam was born to Roy Beam, Joe's son. So, Charles Beam is both great-great-grandson of Jacob Beam and the grand-nephew of Jim Beam himself. Everything you need to know about the most popular bourbon whiskey on shelves today.
