Tastes

Incredible stuff from Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare is special. Sweet vanilla, slight oak, orange peel, and hints of wine notes come through in a delightful way that is hard to beat for 60 or less. One of my all time favorites.

You guessed it, Stillhouse tastes like coffee and has bitter notes towards the end. It’s simple and affordable. You cannot argue that this bourbon isn’t great for the price.

Avoid. Unless you want to drink Rye whiskey and don’t like Rye whiskey. Then you will love the overpowering sweetness and fruity notes. Too much for me 4/10

Slight rye with strong sweet notes and vanilla on the backend. Scent of cookies. At 47.5% this stuff tastes perfectly sweet and i recommend it heavily 8.75/10

Rye is immediately what you taste the entire time. A nice spice and a good burn, it tastes perfect for what it aims to achieve. If you want a Rye-y Rye that warms you up this is your pick. 45 dollars or cheaper is my value estimate

Incredible Rye. Sweet and winey, with a beautiful rye staple, I would rate this a 8/10. I am particular about Rye and this one is great if you want something approachable

My go to at the bar and when I’m on a budget. If you can find this on sale for 25 dollars or less, it’s hard to beat. Oaky and smooth, not too egregious, and entirely reliable.

Oaky and Smoky, this is not one that I love. 6/10

Incredible if you are spending 100 or less. Signature Jack Daniel’s bite at the beginning with a slightly sweet and very rich finish. The backend on this is some of the best i have ever tried. 8.5/10, loses some points for its general 200% 300% markup.
