Eagle Rare 17 year old (Fall 2006 release)

Sweeter notes of pecan pie dates sweet corn candied fruit and English toffee combine with dried spices -- cinnamon heat vanilla and mint -- which crescendoes on its long dry finish. A nicely matured bourbon with decent weight to it. Some of the expressions in the earlier part of the decade were a little heavy on the oak but the last couple of years have shown greater balance.
