Do. It's probably my favorite rye in price/performance terms. :tu

Well, had about a 1/3 of a bottle of the Rittenhouse last night. It was a little rough right out of the bottle, so I put a little water in and it mellowed nicely. Don't like it as much as the Bulleit rye, which is the same $$$ and available here, but it's not bad, for a change of pace.

Could I get some opinions on Eagle Rare? Picked up a bottle of the 10 year old.

This is a decent bourbon for a very reasonable price. A good choice that should satisfy without breaking your wallet. I've had better (for my taste buds), but at twice the price. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the Rare Eagle, cause I did.

Enjoy!

It's not bad. For the price Woodford is better. For a bit more I like Noahs Mill.

I've drank 2 bottles of it, don't find myself wanting a third anytime soon though.

It's a lighter bourbon than most others but that is not meant as a criticism - more a stylistic descriptor. Still bolder than wheaters like Maker's Mark or Weller. Not a bourbon that has most enthusiasts raving about it but it's what you think that counts.

I had some of the Baker's last night. Pretty smooth and enjoyable.

Is that the stuff in the little bottle? If so, yes. It was good but I don't think it was worth the money.

Thanks for the feedback. (The bottle I saw was 750ml, though I believe the store owner referenced a 375ml bottle as well.) I am fond of the "standard" BT, but the single oak project bottle I saw was nearly 3 times its cost ... so I've not bitten the bullet yet.

On a recommendation from Peter (pnoon), a bottle of Corner Creek:
