I do love how people from Kentucky think that just because good bourbon is made there that they are somehow superior by association. It's like Alabama and college football.
I king of love that the bottles on the bar in this shot are not just all allocated and hard to find bottles. Tons of highly available bottles being displayed sends the right message - this channel is not just for the most hardcore (and budget irresponsible) whiskey drinkers. Whiskey doesn't have to be "rare" to be good. Sometimes a great bottle is highly available and $25.
…one of the best reviews of bourbon. I tend to agree with all he says about Eagle Rare, but I would have given it 6 or 7 on the taste(I like Eagle Tare a lot). Also I think it would be higher on the list if he included a value for money score. Hope he will make a review of the Angles Envy and JD Barrel Strenght soon.
The charisma, the enthusiasm, the eloquence, the history coverage, didn't expect these videos, but after watching the Dr. Disrespect Bourbon review, I liked and followed. It's a great combination of passion for the drink, knowledge of the product, and execution of video editing that makes the transition smooth and palatable.
Eagle Rare is no longer single barrel(ish) it was moved to the same bottling line as Buffalo Trace/EHT etc. and is now just bottled as batched like the other Buffalo Trace products.
It's certainly the best value bourbon here in the UK. I can get it whenever I want at my local supermarket for £30. As a comparison, Russell's Reserve 10 is £70, and extremely hard to find. We don't have a great selection of bourbon here, unfortunately.
Strangely enough I get more of a cherry flavor instead of grape when I'm sipping on this. Personally from the different allocated bourbons I've tried, this has been my favorite. I also agree on wishing it was of a higher proof as well.
Now compare it to Russell's 10 year whiskey and also Tin Cup 10 if you have them. Personally I've had Eagle Rare before..it has become an unicorn in my area for some reason but there are plenty of Russell's 10, I personally slightly prefer ER10 but its that just slightly. Russell's 10 is not bad substitute...until BT starts some type of bigger production to supply their most common selling bourbon...or their demand dies down slightly...
pretty sure Buffalo Trace was owned by a Japanese guy who later sold it to an American company in condition that particular mashbills and bottles will be only limited to be released to the japanese market.
Love Eagle Rare. I'm looking for a store pic. So far, I've not found one. Got 4 regular bottles. I'd say I got a true single barrel in one of them, but a nice store pic could be good.
TJ I am new to bourbon collecting and have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for that. Our county recently voted to allow liquor sales so we have four new liquor stores in a town of 25k people. In other words, I have had no problem finding any of the bourbons you have suggested.
I paid $90 for Blantons and $40 eagle rare. I preferred eagle rare over Blantons. I have an E.H. Taylor uncut barrel proof that I was gifted for Xmas. I plan to open that one for the new year
The company that makes it thinks it's a $35 bourbon, and makes a profit selling it for that. It's us morons that hype it and make it something it's not. I enjoy it as a nice somewhat flavorful sipper. I'd pick it over regular WR every time. I buy it every time I see it at MSRP mainly because it makes a great gift for new bourbon enthusiasts.
New subscriber. Have not been able to find Eagle Rare for about three months in OR or WA. In the last week I got three, a $35 bottle from an OR store and two for $55 each that my son found in a WA store. I have over 40 bottles of whiskey on my shelf and I try to always have an Eagle Rare.
I think your scale should be weighted in each category. Some categories should be more important to you (anyone) than others. Also, ER is a top low proof IMO. 26 is not representative.
Its good. That said id still rather have a wt101. Eagle rare never shows up here anymore anyway. Never over msrp for me. If you just "HAVE" to have one and youve never seen it, nothing over 50.
i think i agree here. I bet if folks did a blind test they'd say something similar. I've always been sorta quiet about my thoughts on Eagle cuz i thought some of the same things. But i guess that's why bourbon's great, everyone's got their own favs. Great vid!
I’m from the UK, and you would be underwhelmed by the selection of bourbon here but I’ve just bought a bottle of eagle rare. I do prefer scotch but I found it pleasant to drink but I agree with you TJ the distillers notes are hard to match when you taste it before reading what they say the tasting notes are. 90 proof in the UK is on the higher end of proof but I found it thin on the pallet which is unusual for what we describe as stronger whiskeys
I’m actually impressed. The way you rate the spirits ends up looking real pro IMO. Seems like they fall in a predictable order, remarkable. Good job! Accents and intelligence are independent qualities regardless. Stereotypes sure last…. Enjoying your efforts, thanks.
I have worked in the beer industry, the wine industry and am getting into bourbon/ spirits for the first time, have done a small amount of distilling 2 times in my life but never got into it. I am now getting into bourbon and trying to build up a bourbon collection.
The first time I tried Eagle rare I was underwhelmed. Especially since people are sacrificing their first born for one. I finally feel like I’m not crazy
found one for $60 locally. I was so fucking underwhelmed I thought i was just having an off day. No, not really. It just like a slightly upgraded buffalo trace that i get for $25 lol.
Eagle 🦅 Rare was so shockingly good. I had the bottle for a while before trying and OMG this was instantly my new favorite. Are there any other bourbons you would recommend if you love Eagle Rare?
Jesus Fucking Christ - Bulleit above Eagle Rare and Buffalo trace?!? To me, Bulleit is barely good enough to use for mixed drinks, I would never actually buy it intentionally. It's so BORING and simple - much less complex and interesting than Buffalo Trace, for example.
This has always been my 3rd favorite bourbon in the 30-60 dollar range when I have access to it consistently. In Kentucky, I wont buy it much, but living in the US Northwest where I can't find it, it's always a number one pick because I miss it.
When I visited the Buffalo Trace Distillery a few weeks ago with my wife and friends, we did a tour and sampling. Eagle Rare was the one we all liked the most. Blanton's was not given as a sample. Even my wife who is not a bourbon drinker liked it. I could not get it that day at the distillery, so I bought a bottle at a local retailer for way too much money. We opened the bottle last night with our friends and everyone absolutely loved it. We had some of my wife's delicious cheese cake before the tasting, so our taste buds may have been somewhat compromised, but it is a great bottle of sipping bourbon. The next time we go to the distillery, we live about an hour away, I'm going to try to go on a day when they are selling Eagle Rare. Thanks for the great videos.
Blantons is extremely overrated. I was so hyped when I found it (after visiting 10+ stores) got it home and tried it and was so let down.. bottle is really cool.. but eagle rare over blantons every day that ends in y, or a drink in my hand lol
@@scottiehamilton1699I’ve had Blanton’s that was okay and some that were exceptional. It’s a single barrel so there will always be some variance. Sadly I think it suffers pushback from the hype and expectations are set way too high. But on value nothing competes with Eagle Rare. 10 years at under $40 MSRP and the taste is always consistent and good. I’ve had better whiskey, but this one is my favorite.
If i recall watching your videos got me into bourbon.. I watch damn near all your videos and agree with 94% of what you say.. but this is part of that 6%. This is better that BT, woodford, 10x better than blantons and better than all the bulleits combined. I would choose this bottle over most. I havent tried any EH yet, so i cant say that, but most for sure.
I really like ER and Woodford. Interesting they are tied on your list. Woodford I can get anywhere in San Antonio but ER is marked up to $75 + here when you can find it.
Since Eagle Rare is made from a blend from 2 barrels it would be a double barrel bourbon. Not a good bottle designation. But Double Barrel straight Kentucky Bourbon would be a pretty badass brand name. Especially with a double barreled shotgun illustration on the label.
Rowan county Nc has 6 bottles every two weeks I make sure im there around 10 am after stocking. Also buffalo trace 6 bottles lol I’ve been hiding a bottle of trace and buying eagle You can only get 1 a day lol
I figured some folks would feel that way and if you asked me about those two bottles I'd say I enjoy this one better. However, I try to leave the hype out of it when judging each characteristic. Sometimes though, it's the day and the mood as to whether I like the oak of a 10 year bourbon or not.
He reviewed a Single Barrel Store Pick, so it's possible it's a bad batch, even though he said it's very close to the regular. But I have had a bad Eagle Rare store pick before, and that was dissapointing for sure because I love Eagle Rare.
Glad I was able to get a back up but I got sweet notes with a hint of maybe pear but the most insane part is how watered down it feels so smooth and very very easy sip. 8.5 almost a 9 .
I don't know what there is about Eagle Rare but it's so light in color and I didn't find any Dimensions In The Taste and every sip got hotter and hotter
It’s okay but it’s only good at 30-37 and of you can find it. I did a blind taste with benchmark single barrel, Buffalo trace, and this, and it turns out on ice eagle rare was the best, but straight up. The single barrel benchmark was the best for 20 bucks.
I like this. I wish they made it 100 proof though. My sweet spot In Whiskey. That Kentucky Owl is hooting in the background “drink me, hoot hoot” Great review
they can be found easily in Brazil now! as a country with only a few whiskey options in general, I feel this is a great addition to our whiskey lovers! my bottle just arrived and here we are sipping while watching those reviews!
Tater bottle, was my go to mixer from 2004 to around 2015 when the tater boom made it rare. Not great neat, so many better shelfers. Thank you for a true review of this bottle.
I remember the bottle didn’t have an age statement and it was not a big deal to find in like 2011. It was just an average bottle because it had no hype lol
I always get notes of cake frosting from it. Like that cheap, pillsbury whipped frosting stuff that you eat with a spoon at 2am in your boxers when the family is asleep. I think that's what they call the "candied almonds" in the website description.
I absolutely love your Channel and your knowledge but I have to deeply disagree with this. I tried a few bourbons you recommended and Eagle Rare is much better than some of the things you favor. If I want a hot whiskey to sip on, nothing beats Corn Liquor. For enjoying I’m a 90-107 guy. I love you content TJ but we are very different bourbon drinkers
Need to throw back to those old Eagle Rare bottles. Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace need a bottle makeover.. big time. Personally wouldn't pay over $50 for ER, it's 90 proof.🤷♂
New to the whiskey game. Literally just picked up an Eagle and Blantons at the same place, truck just delivered. Curious if I should “tip” the chick that told me she had them.
When i tasted Eagle rare, i found it to be a slightly more refined buffalo trace. Which makes sense considering they are of the same mash bill. All being equal, i would say for MSRP eagle rare is probably a worthwhile bottle, but considering how difficult and expensive it is in my area, its not worth the effort to buy.
My father in law gave me my first bottle of eagle rare. I just bought my second bottle because I found it at totally wine for $42, but other stores sell it for $70-$90 in my area (NJ)
Nope...I don't read, just drink 😉. As for the bottle it's ok for 30 bucks here in my area. I think it would better if it was the original 101 proof. I won't go out of my to search for it.
Your experience aligns with mine. It's a good average bourbon profile with nothing that stands out. I actually prefer Buffalo Trace if I had to choose one.
I think that most of the BT products are over-hyped. They are "fine" but marketing and social media has created a craze that DOES NOT meet the expectations or prices.
I use to drink a lot of I W HARPER back in the late 60s through the early70s. I never see it in K Y any longer. I don’t know what happened to that bourbon. But I really miss it. If any one out there knows what happened to this whiskey, I would love to know. Find out for me BREWZLE.
Found your channel yesterday, looking for reviews on this bourbon. Knowing it was the holidays, did not have high hopes shopping on New Year's Eve, but a random little neighborhood grocery store had 3 bottles for 42.99 yesterday! I've gone from Jim Beam to Buffalo Trace to Eagle rare now... This bottle did it 😂 I'm officially hooked...
Its what really turned me on to bourbon. It is hands down my favorite bourbon. I always reach right past dozens of other bottles for it.. when i have it.
I just got my first bottle of ER & I gotta say you are spot on! Had I watched this video before buying I might not of tracked it down (I don’t live in GA….thank god). It smells great but it’s taste is much to be desired. It’s not bad it’s just kinda bland.
I remember when, (Is there anything more annoying than when someone says “I remember when…”) Eagle Rare sat on the shelf for ages. The hype for it in NC is close to Blanton’s level. I’d rather have BT over ER.
In Washington, the liquor store is Wal mart . So it's very difficult to get real high end booze. One of my favorite flavors is butterscotch so if you have something with that type of profile I would be interested

Paying more than $60 on eagle rare seems wrong. And I’ve only seen it for $95. So I’m years into this whiskey game, and I can’t find eagle rare.
Your experience aligns with mine. It's a good average bourbon profile with nothing that stands out. I actually prefer Buffalo Trace if I had to choose one.
I think that most of the BT products are over-hyped. They are "fine" but marketing and social media has created a craze that DOES NOT meet the expectations or prices.
I use to drink a lot of I W HARPER back in the late 60s through the early70s. I never see it in K Y any longer. I don’t know what happened to that bourbon. But I really miss it. If any one out there knows what happened to this whiskey, I would love to know. Find out for me BREWZLE.
We need a cask strength Eagle Rare
Just got one for Thanksgiving can't wait to open it...won't say what I paid but I'll say I live in Cali and sure paid California pricing lol. Cheers!
Found your channel yesterday, looking for reviews on this bourbon. Knowing it was the holidays, did not have high hopes shopping on New Year's Eve, but a random little neighborhood grocery store had 3 bottles for 42.99 yesterday! I've gone from Jim Beam to Buffalo Trace to Eagle rare now... This bottle did it 😂 I'm officially hooked...
Its what really turned me on to bourbon. It is hands down my favorite bourbon. I always reach right past dozens of other bottles for it.. when i have it.
I just got my first bottle of ER & I gotta say you are spot on! Had I watched this video before buying I might not of tracked it down (I don’t live in GA….thank god). It smells great but it’s taste is much to be desired. It’s not bad it’s just kinda bland.
For the price of 40 im happy with it, I still prefer EHT but I dont understand givjng up a limb for one like some do.
Def a great Bourbon that never disappoints. Loved for good reason by beginners and enthusiasts.
Clearly you dont know bourbon, its one of the most overrated ever! Never rates high in blind tests by judges.
I've never been a fan of eagle rare.
I think it's a good bottle, but it definitely gets some hype.
I remember when, (Is there anything more annoying than when someone says “I remember when…”) Eagle Rare sat on the shelf for ages. The hype for it in NC is close to Blanton’s level. I’d rather have BT over ER.
Can we please do this in 107 proof? We can get this but its around 70 in Denver. Hopefully we can get it closer to retail going forward.
Paid $75 for mine 😔. Paid $98 for a Makers Mark BRT-02.. my state sucks for prices
In Washington, the liquor store is Wal mart . So it's very difficult to get real high end booze. One of my favorite flavors is butterscotch so if you have something with that type of profile I would be interested
My January 23’ Eagle Rare pickup has the 10yr age statement on the front. Why is mine different than yours?
