    I am going to buy another bottle of bourbon next week as well. Trying to decide between 1792, Eagle, Angels, or Blantons. I only buy one every other month or so, straights are my thing, love buffalo trace.
    Based on what you said that you love straight and Buffalo Trace I would recommend the Eagle Rare the highest myself, Blanton's would also be a good choice but that is significantly more expensive and I can't say it is that much better than Eagle Rare IMHO, love that stuff! I like the Angel's a ton also but with a finishing cask being used it isn't technically bourbon anymore and definitely isn't Straight. Hope you enjoy and best of luck on the new grab!
    Word, Eagle rare or 1792 it is then. Maybe both lol!
    I'm out of my Eagle's bottle, haven't had one for a while but I have 1792 right now and it is outstanding, and if you can find it for $20-25 then it is one of the best values you can find, very smooth and flavorful and quite nicely balanced. Easy to drink neat or with a splash.

    I'd recommend the Eagle as well, but I'm just getting into whiskey so what do I know!
    Today's pickup, another of Irish's suggestions.

    Very nice, I've heard good things about that one as a wheat whiskey, going to be lighter and a softer edge to it compared to rye heavy whiskey. Enjoy!

    Good pickups. Best two of the bourbons I've tried so far. Had some of the knob creek the other night. Probably have some more tonight.

    good to hear! I enjoyed the LP rye, been really wanting to try the single barrel. Heard eagle was nice, and $28 isn't bad!

    Just a couple four things including a bit o' Pliny ;)

    Very nice love the Eagle as I have been saying lately and that Knob Creek looks great, plus it's always cool to see a store exclusive single barrel anyways :)
  • Gray4linesGray4lines Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 3,439
    Yeah I thought that was kinda neat that they picked their own barrel. I saw some four roses single barrel cask str., but decided on the other 2. Do you know how the four roses single barrel (regular) compare to the barrel strength?
  • 90+ Irishman90+ Irishman Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 7,868
    Haven't had the regular so can't say, just know they are going to get harder and harder to find.

    This is a difficult question to answer, While the single barrel is @ 50% abv. The private selections will vary in ABV. Furthermore each private cask will have different yeast strains, I don't remember what they are. Jhewey posted some info listing each strain. Not only that but a business will select a barrel that tickles their fancy, so each private cask will be different form another private cask and so on. Really no way to tell for sure till you have an idea which formula you like best and then that will put you in the ballpark with private casks. If my memory serves me the 2014 LE release was an OESV. Its really one of those things that you have to experience for yourself.

    I will have to get more info, I asked and he said the mash bill was 60% corn, 30% rye and 10% barley and I think it's OESV but don't quote me on that. and yeah another bottle lol, I'm never going to find it again and it was down to their last two and with the other LE Single Barrel being discontinued I won't ever find this one again and it's my fav so the missus actually understood and I was able to pick it up without living in the doghouse lol.

    I can get my hands on one more bottle at least, they still had one left there so if you want just let me know bro. I'd have bought the last one if I could swing it but aint happening. If you have the money I highly suggest it, at least for me it was far and away the best I've had.
