Eagle Rare?

[Bluto]

Anyone ever tried Eagle Rare bourbon? I saw it on sale for $19.99 at the liqour store the other day. Now I'm trying to decide if I should give it a try or if I should just pick up a bottle of Knob Creek. Any thoughts on this?

never heard of it tbh, mate. what are the other more well-known Bourbons in the same price range? (is this a bad way to judge a bourbon you gaven't had before, do you think, folks?)

I can't think of any reason not to try a new (to you) brand of liquor.

Of course, I never buy whiskey that's more than $6.99/0.75.

Well, in the same price range you're going to find Maker's Mark, Beam Black, Bulliett. Things like that. The Eagle Rare caught my eye because it's a single barrel bourbon. At the same time, however, the local grocery has Knob Creek on sale for $14.99.
I thik the real answer here is to buy them both.

Try it, why shouldn't you? Maybe it's the greatest bourbon you'll ever taste. You do not want to miss that.

but if its the worst then your stuck with it.

Definitely give it a try Bluto. Eagle Rare SB is easily one of my favorite Bourbons. Personally, I like it better than Knob Creek, but that's just me. However, looking at those prices you listed, I'd have say stock up on both. Cheers!

Already bought the Knob Creek. Its not my favorite bourbon ever, by a long shot, but at that price it' nice t have around. I hope to get the Eagle Rare over the weekend.

Good advice. And I think I'l take it. If it's absolutley teribe, which seems unlikely based on wht I've learned of it, I can pass it off to someone else or use it as emergency booze. If the sale's still on I'llget a bottle and let you al know how it went.

but if its the worst then your stuck with it.

"stuck with it" is such a hard term. For $20 i will have tried something absolutley ne, and if need be I can serve it to a less discriminating imbiber later on. I'm goign to try to et in on the sale tomorrow.

Knob Creek for 15 dollars? Wow. What was the occasion?

Oh, and I have never heard of Eagle Rare.

Seems to be on sale all around town. Though, the $14.99 was still the best deal. Local distributor must have been overstocked. Or, it's just one of those little gifts from the booze gods taht we shouldn't try to over analyze.

Knob Creek for $14.99? Buy a case. That is a steal!

Go buy some and try it immediately.

If you see my soul in that bottle, please let me know.

Cheers!

So, it was your soul I was drinking last night?

Tastey!

So it was worth a try? Is it a keeper?

Very much so. I'll post more details about it when I have some time. I was very pleased with it, though, and if you can find it you should definately give it a shot.
