33 open bottles in my collection ranked through multiple blind tastings. Counting them down!
#28: Eagle Rare. Kentucky Straight Bourbon. 45% ABV. 10 years.
Paid $37
If under $40, I am definitely keeping this stocked.
This used to be Eagle Common and less than $30. It was blatantly underpriced, and people smartly bought this up. I recently had trouble finding this in stores, and have seen it now go for as high as $50. This is just a solid easy-sipping bourbon. Classic red berries and cinnamon. Marshmellows drizzled in maple syrup. A little too quick and one-noted (honey) of a finish, but it serves a purpose: brunch bourbon? Hell yes.
MARK: 80/100
PREVIOUSLY, ON BATMAN:
#29: Old Pulteney. $40. 43%. 12 years. 80/100.

I can get this just under $30 near me. It’s usually in stock too.
