About this bottle

Buffalo Trace introduced the Double Eagle Very Rare Bourbon in early February 2019. This Kentucky straight bourbon's name reflects its 20-year maturation period, double the aging of the standard Eagle Rare Bourbon. The limited edition features a crystal decanter with two eagles and a silver presentation box. The box has dual sliding doors that activate lights above and below the bottle to illuminate the eagle. With a bottling strength of 90 proof, only 299 bottles were produced. The subsequent release is anticipated in spring 2020.

Domingo Libby 4.8

A big shout-out to my boss for this sample. Appearance: Deep amber with hints of burnt orange, see-through, with standard lacing. Smell: Unbelievably, there's grape on the nose, then more barrel and spice. It's very fragrant, and I like it. Taste: Starts fruity, then mild wood, followed by lots of cinnamon spice. Aftertaste: A little warmth, but it's quite smooth and pleasant. Plenty of taste on the way down, cinnamon and oak. Conclusion: A remarkable bottle, but I don't see how the price is defensible. Would I desire to own it? Definitely.

Dallas Keys 5.0

I'm unable to award this 10 stars. It's the finest bourbon I've ever tasted.
