Australian exclusive selected by our friends at Barrel & Batch Whisky Co-Op
Age: 11 years and 1 month ABV: 45% (90 Proof) Source: Buffalo Trace Distillery Spirit: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Maturation: Virgin American Oak Size: 750ml
Being around whiskey for us is like being a kid in a candy shop. In fact during a recent session sampling Eagle Rare barrels we got a kick out of our three favourites all making us reminisce about a favourite sweet.
The first in this series is Dark Cherry Ripe.
Eagle Rare is aged for a minimum of 10 years and sold in Australia in our standard 700ml bottle. Each and every barrel is tasted for quality and consistency with only the very best set aside to be released as a single barrel. All single barrels are bottled in the standard US size of 750ml (or a ‘fifth’ for our Yankee friends), meaning a bonus dram for all!
This little number was bottled at 11 years and 1 month old (when it’s ready). All bottles are numbered with rick and rack information for those that like to know all the facts and figures.
This whiskey is a syrupy cherry dipped treat. With hints of chocolate up front with dark fruits, hence the name Dark Cherry Ripe. A classic bourbon on the palate, toffee, caramel and oak all very apparent. The finish is lush with tobacco and leather.
