Blantons is average at best….Eagle Rare is decent.

Putting down a man's whisky while he wishes you a Merry Christmas. Classy.

I'll have a pour of Blanton's with you any day Officer.

Coffee for me thanks, headed into work. All I want for Christmas is a successful steam cracker startup.

Not bourbon, or the proper glass, but what the hay. Cheers.

Scored this. Kind of afraid to open it for fear I may like it and have to replace the empty later.

I like that glass.

I'm having my go-to Dripping Springs Vodka/Topo Chico/lemon juice.

Merry Christmas guys, hope it's a good one.

Mis information

Eagle rare was good at its original price point of $28. Now the koolaid drinkers jerk off to it. It’s meh for the hype


Good cabinet be. Kentucky owl does nothing for my taste buds especially at the price

Below is as high falutin as we get around here. My son, son in-law and I had a couple of pours last night.
Happy belated Christmas to all, we hope that it was a wonderful time with family and friends.

Cheers and amen!

Bourbon has become like Tex-Mex. You can find some anywhere but its not for everyone and tastes/opinions vary widely.

It's hilarious to read people bagging on this brand or that brand. Do a little research and you may be surprised at how many labels come from the same distilleries.

Yeah, I was shocked when I found out that Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare have the same mash bill, just that ER is aged longer. I don't like BT at all, but I do enjoy ER. But of course when one isn't as aged as the other of course the flavor profiles will be different.

Eagle was $38 at Specs last Friday. But I have seen it priced double that at independent stores.

Any of you bourbon snobs that don’t want that nasty Blanton or Eagle Rare, let me know and I will get rid of it for you…..as a public service of course.

I feel so unworthy.

Re: Good Bourbon - 12/26/22 06:08 PM

Eagle Rare has been available in Wyoming at about $30 lately.
Garrison Brothers just recently made it's way to Wyoming, at $80 for regular, way too high a price.
Balcones also showed up recently.

I just had a pour of Old Forester Statesman. Excellent stuff. I really like Blantons and ER if it is at the msrp price. Me and some buddies recently blinded a store pick Blantons, EH Taylor Single Barrel and ER and all 3 of of put ER first.
