Dram of the Day

I'm not big on the Eagle Rare but I hadn't had it in 12 years so I gave it another shot. Still just ok. But hey, it's Friday night! Drink up!

Eagle Rare…Probably one of the best values out there if you can pick it up for the MSRP of $32.99. Good luck finding anything in a 10yr Old Single Barrel at that price. It’s very underrated. Makes a great Manhattan too!

I got it here in Pennsylvania for 29.99. It's a balanced bourbon, but I'm a Four Roses and Wild Turkey fan so it's not in my wheelhouse.

Pretty decent haul from Myrtle Beach last week. Also picking up a Stagg Jr and EHT Single Barrel this week locally! Cheers fellas!

Good gift. A 12 year Scotch in hand is better than a 18 Mcallan still at the store.

What's to judge? I think that's a great scotch! Enjoy!!!! I agree with TedRex, even Old Smuggler is better than an empty hand! Cheers!

Today’s haul. They all had great reviews and compete decently with some of the more pricier choices:

Cheers

We were in the mood for Tiki drinks this evening. Painkillers made with an awesome funky navy strength Jamaican rum! Cheers!

A good buddy was in Kentucky a week ago on a work detail and toured a couple distilleries. Brought me back a sweet bottle of Weller. Very nice bourbon. He was able to buy a bottle of Parkers Heritage 10 year that I was lucky enough to sample! Insanely good! Cheers all!

Out with the old, in with the new. The new liquor cabinet gives a lot more space… in face, it’s looking kinda empty (that’s a very old pic of the last cabinet, it was packed with bottles before I moved it today). Might need to get to the store again this week!

Had some friends over for a bourbon sampling the other night, had an awesome evening. Some of these were unopened when the night began, and the only rule was that all bottles had to be opened by the end of the night. Cheers everyone!

It is! One of the guys I invited over brought his brother, who somehow had that random bottle. He made his brother put it in back of the lineup For the photo Lol.

Awesome, what did you think of it? Smoke wagon and Warbringer are in my rotation right now.

I actually thought it was good enough to stand with the other bottles easily. Buffalo Trace is my go-to, and of all the bottles in that photo my favorite ’expensive’ bottle was the Michter 10-year. Pappy/King of Kentucky/Eagle Rare 17-year are good, but not multiples better than the Michters (IMO).
