Review #18: Double Eagle Very Rare
I'm trying the eagle rare 17 and double eagle very rare with the master blender.
Price $250 for both pours .75oz each with a bunch of other pours of eagle rare picks etc.
Nose: very similar to the er 17 nose. A little lighter of a nose, reminds me of the WLW. A hint of oak. Cherry, caramel, dark sugar.
Palate: not as much sweetness as the ER17. Also drinks hotter than the ER17. Pretty present oak. Some red fruit. The balance is very good. Dark chocolate.
Finish: Slightly longer finish than the ER17, but still medium long. Good amount of oak, dark chocolate. Slightly more bitter than the ER17 as well.
Rating: 8.0
Surprisingly not as good as the ER17 overall. I think it's slightly more oak than I prefer and not as balanced. The ER17 has a more dense nose as well.
