Ok I picked this up for Thanksgiving just to try something different. Really I liked the way the bottle looked (I know). But it being a single barrel I figured I would give it a shot. Norm I drink Woodford Reserve and Knob Creek on the rocks. So anyway I get ready to light up a cigar so I pour me some over ice and let me tell you this stuff was just awesome. So when I get back home from out of town I start trying to find out about it, it is a small batch bourbon made by Buffalo Trace and come to find out its not so easy to find. Only one Spec's in Houston has it! So I'm going by the little place I found it and getting another bottle, mind you I really don't drink at home, it may last me a couple years! If you like bourbon and see this out there get it.

Sounds like good stuff. I am a huge bourbon fan so any new varieties are always great to try. Wonder if Eagles fly this far North?

I'm a huge bourbon fan - I will have to check this one out. Thanks Frank!

Thanks, Frank, for the tip. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for this one. Gotta love the Bourbon!

Glad you discovered this great bourbon and that you found a bottle. Like you, I enjoy a good single barrel bourbon. (I am a big fan of Knob Creek, straight.) I don't know anything about bourbon, but the Eagle Rare strikes me as being just a little dryer and noticeably woodier than the Knob Creek. It has a nice oak flavor and is very smoooooooth. It goes down easy and warms you right up! Good call!

Sometime this week I'm going to post a picture of the bottle I have, that should help you find it if you are looking for it. So stay tuned. And by the way I paid $30 for it.

Yeah...

I found this today at one of my local shops. Cost me right at around $35 for a 750ml. I'm looking forward to breaking it open and finally giving it a try.

Thanks, again, for the tip.

Very nice pickup. You guys are big city folk and pay them hifalutin prices. It is more like $25 around here in Iowa. If I'm ever headed your way for a herf, remind me to pick you up a few.

Eagle Rare Single Barrel is a great bourbon, I also suggest checking out Four Roses single barrel is you can get your hands on it. It's pretty hard to get outside of KY and I think NY, but from what I hear they are increasing their distribution.

I thought the Eagle Rare was a little light for me.. Very smooth though and the aroma was very very nice.. I am going for the Four Roses single barrel for the taste alone..
