Official tasting notes:
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.

Description
This little beauty, affectionately dubbed ‘Dark Cherry Ripe’ weighs in at the US size of 750ml which means more bang for your ‘hard earned’ of delicious bourbon for everyone. Although the labelling will always show an age statement of 10 years, Eagle Rare 10 is only ever bottled when it’s deemed ready, and this single barrel hit the sweet spot at 11 years and 1 month. It’s yet another killer release that will go the way of the Dodo bird so don’t wait too long to purchase yours as our allocation will be designated to our Whiskey Museum archives in no time.
Barrel and Batch is now up to their 4th Eagle Rare barrel pick exclusively for the Australian Market, thus is the popularity of single barrel Eagle Rare on our fine shores. Enthusiasts may think it’s easy getting these barrel picks over the line, however it takes a whole lot of tenacity and large doses of blood and sweat as the process is technical and quite long winded. Not only that, you must also have the experimental nous to select barrels and casks that really shine, and the lads at the co-op have some fantastic palates.
Eagle Rare Bourbon Whiskey is part of the Buffalo Trace core line that is masterfully crafted and carefully aged for no less than ten years. Every barrel is discriminately selected to offer consistent flavour but with a seemingly individual personality. The sweeping eagle on the bottle represents life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, cornerstones of the true American spirit.
