Bourbon Eagle Rare 10YR 750ml

With several awards from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Eagle Rare 10 Year isn't your average bourbon. Produced since 1975 in Frankfort, Kentucky, this bourbon is one of the true jewels in the American bourbon scene. At 45 percent ABV, it's smoother than some of the alternatives to boot. Masterfully crafted and aged in oak barrels for no less than 10 years, Eagle Rare boasts a complex array of flavors, offering a distinct taste experience. As soon as you pour a glass, you're enveloped with aromas of toffee, honey, leather, oak, herbs and orange peel. Take a sip and you'll get that oaky flavor complete with cocoa and almonds. It sounds like a delicious breakfast cereal, but it's better sipped in the evening with friends after a long day at the office. Like any great bourbon, Eagle Rare 10 Year doesn't need a bunch of extras to enjoy. All you need is a rocks glass. Fill with one or two fingers or add an ice-cube or two to get the full breadth of flavors. You can also add a splash of water, which helps bring some of the aromas to life without sullying the experience. If you're a cocktail aficionado, Eagle Rare is tasty in everything from an Old Fashioned to a Manhattan. In the true spirit of its Kentucky origins, you may also want to try it in a mint julep. Once you take a drink, you're sure to yell out, "Giddyup!"
