Nose: Sweet and floral and almost fruity. Reminds me very much of Eagle Rare 10 despite the differences. Sweet cream, honey. A bit of oak. Some mild banana almost a faint bubblegum note, mild passion fruit. Sweet, creamy, faint oak overall.
Taste: Medium thickness, sweet and mild with the most notable flavors being sweet cream, mild oak, and creamy fruitiness.
Finish: Medium with a faint wisp of heat. Sweet here also, and the fruitiness continues. Faint oak also.
Overall: This is a good bourbon but its eerily similar to Eagle Rare. I really like that profile, though, so I enjoyed the creaminess, fruitiness and the overall sweetness. I can't say that it is phenomenal, or worth close to even half of its secondary value but I did enjoy it. To me, it was on par with a good ER10 store pick – quality wise. I'm going to give this a Rank 6 as a result.
