I king of love that the bottles on the bar in this shot are not just all allocated and hard to find bottles. Tons of highly available bottles being displayed sends the right message - this channel is not just for the most hardcore (and budget irresponsible) whiskey drinkers. Whiskey doesn't have to be "rare" to be good. Sometimes a great bottle is highly available and $25.

It's a great combination of passion for the drink, knowledge of the product, and execution of video editing that makes the transition smooth and palatable.

…one of the best reviews of bourbon. I tend to agree with all he says about Eagle Rare, but I would have given it 6 or 7 on the taste(I like Eagle Tare a lot). Also I think it would be higher on the list if he included a value for money score. Hope he will make a review of the Angles Envy and JD Barrel Strenght soon.

When I visited the Buffalo Trace Distillery a few weeks ago with my wife and friends, we did a tour and sampling. Eagle Rare was the one we all liked the most. Blanton's was not given as a sample. Even my wife who is not a bourbon drinker liked it. I could not get it that day at the distillery, so I bought a bottle at a local retailer for way too much money. We opened the bottle last night with our friends and everyone absolutely loved it. We had some of my wife's delicious cheese cake before the tasting, so our taste buds may have been somewhat compromised, but it is a great bottle of sipping bourbon. The next time we go to the distillery, we live about an hour away, I'm going to try to go on a day when they are selling Eagle Rare. Thanks for the great videos.

Blantons is extremely overrated. I was so hyped when I found it (after visiting 10+ stores) got it home and tried it and was so let down.. bottle is really cool.. but eagle rare over blantons every day that ends in y, or a drink in my hand lol

@@scottiehamilton1699I’ve had Blanton’s that was okay and some that were exceptional. It’s a single barrel so there will always be some variance. Sadly I think it suffers pushback from the hype and expectations are set way too high. But on value nothing competes with Eagle Rare. 10 years at under $40 MSRP and the taste is always consistent and good. I’ve had better whiskey, but this one is my favorite.
