Favorite bourbon/ whiskey...

Eagle Rare is a ten year old bourbon made by Buffalo Trace. It’s a good tasting bourbon at a good price point. I buy it pretty often to gift to workers and or friends. They make a 1.75L bottle that’s very large and impressive looking displayed on a bar top.

 

If your life's experience with whiskey is Jack Daniels, your beer store may be disappointed after you try good bourbon.

 

I'd definitely grab a couple of them. For now, they are accessible and affordable (in most places), but I'm sure that will change...

We've got reasonable access to both BT and ER at MSRP (regular versions of both products). State owns and runs all liquor stores, so any rare offerings for us are routed through a state drawing; surprisingly it was determined at the end of last year that all of those rare bottles were not making it to consumers. Imagine that

 

With Eagles you won’t need a mixer… smoooooth.

 

Nice, it’s ridiculous around the Gettysburg area. Ever liquor store stock level is terrible. May need an excuse to drive to West Chester

 

No problem, Did take it that way. I’ve lived all across this country and know this area, though is home, is not the best area to live.

 

My stepson got this for me for Father’s Day. It’s 115 proof… but doesn’t burn like it’s 115 proof. Very tasty!

 

That's a new one; where's it from???

 

This and THomas Handy are hard to tell apart blind. Great juice!

 

Geezuz!

 

This is my latest aquisition. Nice and smooth!

 

Very cool! I have both in my collection. I’ll do a blind taste test.

 

Hahaha. Is there anything you don’t have in your ‘little’ collection? Wish there were your kind up here to hang out and drink whiskey with lol

 

It’s been a while, glad to finally find one of these again.

 

There’s always more to add to the collection. I just need more shelving space. Haha

 

I built my whiskey wall to small. It’s full so I really messed up. At least with a bigger space I could have told the wife I NEEDED to fill the shelves. Now I just cowardly sneak in bottles and hide them behind the front bottles and pretend I’ve had them for ‘a while’ haha

 

Hopefully not while you're in the driver's seat

 

My wife knows I buy new stuff all the time. She asked me the other day “don’t you have enough already?” I told her “nope”. Lol She knows this is a hobby and an interest for me so she doesn’t get to worried about it. Plus I don’t drink that often even though I have a lot.

 

I’m glad to hear we are all in the same boat haha. My wife asks me the same thing. At the rate I sip mine, I have 40 lifetimes worth

 

All I need to do is remind how many purses, shoes and jewelry I’ve bought her. Lol

 

Same boat here. My wife will actually even pick up things she knows I'm looking for, or if she sees something interesting we haven't had she'll grab it. Sometimes she doesn't realize it's something we have had or do have.. We don't drink much either, but it's nice to have a quality variety when the mood arises.

It helps that we keep a pretty large wine collection too..

If civilization collapses tomorrow I have enough ammo and booze to barter that I think we'll do relatively well.

 

If you have enough ammo you don't have to barter with anyone

 

I mean, I didn't want to come out and say it..

 

Todays finds

 

Really good stuff and love the label

 

Just getting into bourbon (have a lot of friends deep in the rabbit hole), so I wanted to get something I knew would be good to start. Took a lot of hunting, but finally found some today!

 

Found the antique tonight. Apparently some stores in Idaho like to hide their rare or limited bourbon all over the store in random spots…anyways my brother found it on the bottom shelf behind the grenadine.
