The aroma begins with an intense sweet-fruity flavour. Vanilla, caramel and an extremely pleasant orange note unfold first. This is followed by spicier nuances: oak, dark chocolate and a herbaceous, spicy freshness reminiscent of mint. The scent evokes associations with a wonderfully empty warehouse full of old whiskey barrels.
The wonderful oiliness impresses on the tongue, and the flavour fulfils the promises of the nose. Sweet nuances of honey, buttered popcorn and milk chocolate unfold, while spicier flavours such as oak, bitter orange and an exotic coconut note send the palate on a journey. A slight tingle and a pinch of cinnamon round off the flavour experience.
The finish completes the Eagle Rare experience in an equally impressive way. Tart, spicy oak notes dominate here, comparable to a delicious rye bread with butter. The sweetness resonates subtly and is primarily reminiscent of caramel. The whiskey is soft and warming on the palate.
