It's worth pointing out that in Canada, Eagle Rare runs $50 or more per bottle (as compared to about $35 for standard Buffalo Trace), and at that price it's not really worth the extra money over Buffalo Trace's flagship. Having said that, this is still an excellent bourbon--full of vanilla and oak and that prototypical cherry/apple character I get from most BT whiskeys. BUT it should also come with the caveat that it's at times an inconsistent bourbon: though it no longer officially carries the Single Barrel designation it is still effectively a single barrel product (just a technicality of the bottling line BT uses), and I've found a lot of variation--from barrels that might as well have just been bottled as Buffalo Trace to perfectly balanced masterpieces to bitter, over-oaked messes. Still, when it's on, it's as good a regularly available bourbon as there is out there.
