The beautiful rolling hills of Kentucky, where Buffalo Trace is located, have been the perfect breeding ground for their bourbon. The smooth and rich taste of the bourbon owes a lot to the environment in which it is created. And the same goes for their new release, Double Eagle Very Rare.
The Flavors
Double Eagle Very Rare is smooth with a complex, layered taste that will keep you coming back for more. The nose opens up with notes of honey, apple, and vanilla, trailed by a bit of oak and char. The initial sip greets you with a dry, oaky flavor, which is accompanied by notes of honey, vanilla, and caramel. The finish is spicy and warming, with a touch of bitterness that adds to the complexity of the whiskey.
