Tastes

This bourbon is what legends are made of. Ridiculously difficult to find, but my favorite bourbon on the planet. Hands down

My favorite (relatively available) bourbon by far. Perfect blend of spice, full bodied, and richness. I’m starting to have difficulty finding it which is super frustrating. I can’t find a cheaper and comparable bourbon so if you find it, enjoy it. It has a tendency to not be there the next time you visit the store.

This stuff is legit. I tried it after hearing everyone rave about it and was not disappointed. However, after comparing, it tastes similar to Elijah Craig. In other words, if Eagle Rare is available for a reasonable price in your area, then get you some! If not, then Elijah Craig will give you a good idea of what it tastes like.

Great bourbon. Tastes similar to Blanton’s when drinking neat. Put a rock in it, and the spice disappears. Recommend this bourbon if you’re looking for something “smooth” with less bite (aka less spicy).

This is a great single barrel bourbon, especially if you want some good spice with vanilla finish. There are cheaper alternatives out there. If you like this bourbon, then try Woodford or Elijah Craig for a cheaper price with similar notes.

Great bourbon. Always in the cabinet. However, the price is getting out of control. Recommend Elijah Craig which costs less. Comparable taste but less spice.

For the price, it’s awesome. However, it’s noticeably less awesome than Elijah Craig, Woodford, and Bulleit. If you can spare an extra $8, then buy those. If you’re tight on cash, then this is a darn fine whiskey.

My new daily sipper. I like to feel the spice in bourbon and have a rich vanilla finish. This bourbon is everything I need. Tastes like a good single barrel (I.e. 1792, four roses, Henry McKenna BiB). The best bourbon for the price in my opinion. Comparable bourbons to Elijah Craig are: Woodford Reserve, Bulleit, Basil Hayden’s.
