I don't usually drink a blend, but I was impressed with how smooth and good Eagle Rare is.

I think Eagle Rare is a single barrel product.

From what I remember, It is a single barrel bourbon but since its bottled on an assembly line from one barrel to the next without cleaning the lines it cant be labeled "single barrel". I think that is why.

Mine does say Kentucky straight 45% Ten year old...I stand corrected!

A friend thought of me and snagged this from The Liquor Barn in KY. It’s not a barrel strength but he didn’t know any better. I’m just happy to have received it.

Looking forward to cracking it open when I’ve finished a few opened ones.

I love Eagle Rare! It’s a solid choice and aged 10yrs.

Don’t quote me but they are technically single barrels as they dump and pour. The next barrel goes in the pan just before the other one is empty so their is a chance of a blend on two barrels. It’s solid stuff!

Today’s success was securing two Stagg Jr Batch 12’s (132.3 proof) for $99 per and a 12yr Elijah Craig Single Barrel store pick.

Batch 12 is probably one of the most popular and impossible batch to find and when you do... the shops want something stupid lime 299 per lmao!
