"Deep amber color with an olive hue. Buttery caramel, toasted nut, and delicate anise cookie dough aromas. A round, supple entry leads to a fruity medium-full body of chocolate covered caramel corn, rich baking spice, pink peppercorns, and nutty bread dough flavors. Finishes with a sweet and spicy honeyed rye, toffee, pepper, and mineral fade."

"Deep bronze hue. Mature aromas of lanolin, almond oil and creamed corn greet the olfactory sense; aeration unleashes full-throttle scents of toasty oak and vanilla extract: a top-notch Bourbon bouquet. Palate entry is dry, complex and toasty; midpalate offers sweet, grainy tastes of Wheat Thins, oil and sap. Aftertaste is oaky, sweet and intensely grainy. Another Weller triumph. Best Buy." 96-100 pts.

"Amber color. Even aromas of floral honey, toasted grain, buttery caramel, and peppery spice. A silky, soft entry leads to a dryish medium body of cinnamon bark, caramel, and honeyed toasted rye and cornbread. Finishes with a long, vanilla, sweet corn, and sweet baking spice fade. Nice smoothness, balance and proportion."

"Copper color. Deep aromas of pecan toffee, dried peach and orange, and sweet baking spices follow through on a supple entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-full body with layers of spiced nuts and caramel fudge. Finishes with a long, smooth vanilla and mineral accented fade. A great sipper or mixer with fantastic flavor and balance." Gold Medal.

From the good folks who make Redemption Rye and Redemption Rye-heavy Bourbon.

One of our handpicked cask selections, Eagle Rare is the elegant counterpart to Elmer T. Lee, round and sweet, but soft, showing light oak vanilla, and a nice touch of pepper.

"Initial aroma is acutely spicy, cereal-grain sweet and a touch citrusy; following aeration the aroma takes flight as fruity/resiny scents enchant the olfactory sense. The flavor at entry is laser beam-focused, snug and concentrated; at midpalate, the flavor profile goes deeply cereal-like, almost honeyed, Sherried and intense. Concludes a tad fiery (it’s 101-proof, don’t forget), zesty, toffee sweet and nougat-like." 90-95 pts.
