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

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!

I agree with the post above

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.

My "to get list" is the following:

Marker's 46
Russel's Reserve 10 years
Knob Creek
Benjamin Prichard's double barreled
Crown Reserve

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.

Picked up a bottle of woodfor reserve today, hopefully i'll get a chance to try it tonight.

For all of you up here in the Great Northwest, Woodinville Whiskey has put out there first batch of American Whiskey and Bourbon Whiskey. Both are top shelf, stop by the distillery and pick up a bottle or two.

Nick · 12-21-2011, 01:44 AM

Cracked open the woodford reserve tonight. Its got a great little bite and a nice spicy but somewhat sweet flavor.

Has anyone tried the Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project?

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

12-29-2011, 02:12 PM

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:

Just gotta crack it open now Thanks Peter...
