Very nice solid sipper. First West has done an admirable job. Here’s the challenge it’s very similar to Eagle Rare 10 year. It tastes younger than Eagle Rare but at a higher proof (51 compared to ER at 45). Eagle Rare has a richer, more flavorful sip than First West small batch. First West Small Batch on the 15 Stars website is about $60.00 a bottle vs. about $40.00 SRP for Eagle Rare 10, if you can find it at SRP. The flavor profile for First West Small Batch isn’t different enough from Eagle Rare 10 for me to have it in my liquor cabinet
