Alpop Ward Selection #1 - Eagle Rare 10 Year Single Barrel

Feeling all rosy from our Christmas charity work with the Orphan Barrels, we wanted to break out a very special New Year's review.


Alpop Private Selection Eagle Rare




Courage.  Leadership.  Survival.  Heroism.  Devotion.  Character

These are words written on a tag on the side of this bottle of bourbon.




Tasting Notes

Nose:  A ton of mint for a bourbon, floating on sweet corn, charred pork fat, banana nut muffins, oak, saddle leather, and orange peels.

Palate:  Light on the tongue with a lot of sweet citrus, bitter cherry candy, and vanilla.

Finish:  Short clean finish with just the right amount of spirit warmth, a touch of campfire smoke, and a little olive oil and chili pepper wafting up the throat/nose.




Review

A veritable masterpiece of barrel selection.  Good luck getting your hands on one of these extremely limited edition Alpop single barrels. If you do you've got something to celebrate in 2015!  :)

Cheers, happy healthy new year!   /Mr & Mrs Beast
