Mmmm. They call this "Eagle Rare" and it was certainly hard to find. The question is was it worth the effort? The nose is quite fruity with some oak and grainy acetone spirit notes. The taste has some bite at first which fades to reveal cayenne pepper and toffee. Wtih water there is some brown sugar as well. Overall I found this lacked a little body and richness for such an aged bourbon. The finish has oak, some rye spice and with water a nice mint note. Was it worth the effort...? Maybe not.
