Eagle Rare Bourbon is a high-quality, small batch bourbon that is produced by the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. The distillery has a long and storied history dating back to the late 18th century, when it was founded by the Ripy family. Eagle Rare Bourbon was first introduced in the 1970s and quickly gained a loyal following due to its high quality and distinctive flavor profile. The bourbon is made using a blend of corn, rye, and malted barley, and is aged for a minimum of 10 years in oak barrels.
One of the standout features of Eagle Rare Bourbon is its smooth, well-rounded flavor profile. On the nose, you'll detect aromas of toasted oak, vanilla, and caramel, along with hints of dried fruit and spice. On the palate, the bourbon is full-bodied and well-balanced, with flavors of toffee, dark chocolate, and a hint of orange peel. The finish is long and slightly sweet, with a lingering hint of oak and spice.
In the years since its introduction, Eagle Rare Bourbon has become a well-respected and highly sought-after brand, winning numerous awards and accolades at international spirit competitions. Today, it is considered to be one of the finest small batch bourbons available on the market.
Overall, Eagle Rare Bourbon is a top-notch bourbon that is perfect for sipping. It's a little on the pricier side if you can't find it at MSRP, but in my opinion, it's well worth the investment for the exceptional quality and flavor. If you're a fan of bourbon and are looking to try something a little bit different, I highly recommend giving Eagle Rare a try. It's definitely a bourbon that you won't want to miss!
I’m not a brown liquor guy. Bad experiences
I'm primarily a brown liquor guy! I might need to hear this story over discord it's about time we talk more than silver.
It’s more then one story. But no problem sharing a good laugh. Whenever you want.
That sure looks tasty. I'm not fond of anything with a burnt wood flavor but when you get into the vanilla and caramel those are delicious.
The wood is an acquired taste, but all those roasted caramel and vanilla are amazing. This is an easy drinker.
Should be age 8 aboved 😊
Eagle Rare is some good stuff. I have a bottle on my shelf at home. It is almost gone though. It is pretty hard to find it. I think down south they started putting into the lottery system. That's the good thing about Michigan, the prices are pretty fixed. For the most part anyway. I was able to get my bottle for $28 or so which is what it should really sell for. That's part of what made it so great. It was an awesome bourbon for a decent price. Now people are just nuts. I love that we can still get Buffalo Trace at Costco for $25 or so. There are tons of people who can't find it anywhere for a decent price. I'm going to miss my bottle of Eagle Rare when it is gone. I don't think I'd pay more than $40 for a bottle though. Same thing with Blanton's. If I can get it for $60 ro so then cool, more than that, not worth it!
All of the Buffalo Trace is still hard to find in my area, but I do like that there is plenty of it at MSRP. I just finished a bottle of Blanton's which I saw people seeing for $300! I think my bourbon collection could be considered an investment at this point. I'm a lot like you I want MSRP it's part of the fun and satisfaction of the hunt.
Haha, I hear you. I have two unopened bottles of Blanton's that I paid right around $65 a piece for. The smaller stores don't seem to have Buffalo Trace but the Costco just down the road always has a stock it seems. My collection is definitely an investment. Probably close to $1000 if not more in bottles right now.
Your collection is probably about the same size as mine then. We don't have a Costco Membership, but my wife and I were talking about getting one yesterday! Their kirkland branded stuff is all really good.
Yeah, I have a couple bottles of the small batch. I like it better than the bonded stuff they released. There was one more flavor in their special run that I never got to try. We just live a couple miles from the store, it's straight down the road so it made sense to get a membership. Midland Brewing company started making their own bourbon. It is pretty fair.
I need to try to find those. I have also had several local breweries distilled spirts. Some of them should stick with beer lol.
I can't argue with you there! 😃
