As I expect more of you than not have already had a go at Eagle Rare, it still is worthy of the review. The descriptions pretty much say it all, a 10 year age statement is nothing to sneeze at unless you're the typical 50year old scotch consumer and to that I say "well done sir" but those of us who have to scrounge our good bottles off the shelves at the store have known about the "good stuff with the Eagle" for quite a while. The supply has held up better than expected for a bottle in the 30ish range and that makes this one of the "rare" values indeed. While Buffalo Trace may take some warranted abuse for the allocated bottle standards it is in many ways responsible for, you can't fault them or owner Sazerac for the way they have tried to make this great bottle readily available. In many ways this is the real "standard" for the BT/Saz distillery as it provides all the high quality and exceptional value for todays bourbon standard or benchmark. Certainly we would all drink Blantons every day, or William Larue Weller, Parkers Heritage or Rock Hill Farms, but the fact is those are too often out of reach or just not to be seen. Not only is Eagle Rare readily available it holds the line at a great price point and market availability that makes it a very worthy entry as an every day drinker. This is Buffalo Trace giving us a value quality that makes us NOT hate them for the obscenely black marketeered BTAC bottles we would all love to be collecting. For the few who actually haven't already tried Eagle Rare, take it from Beppe, get off yer keester and get some.. what are you waiting for?
