10 Alternatives to Eagle Rare 

in upstate ny it’s hitting 90 a bottle at the store

Old Forester birthday bourbon was a nice touch.

Agree on a lot of the bottles you mentioned. JW Dant is a great pour. Love New Riff single barrels. I went with our club to select a barrel about a year and half ago and it was a fantastic experience. I never pass up a 1792 full proof or Russell store pick as I have yet to have a bad one. A few other possible contenders to consider: JTS Brown (another HH BIB), Smooth Ambler Old Scout, Yellowstone Hand Selected, Ezra Brooks 7 year, Old Forester Statesman & Blade and Bow

Big fan of the New Riff Single Barrels...and if you go by the distilery I recommend one of their picks from the gift shop.

Great alternatives guys. All good bottles. 🥃

Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare are both Mashbill #1. Different age, Buffalo Trace is younger at roughly 8 years old where Eagle Rare is 10, don't know if the barrels come from different places in the rick or not.

OF birthday all over central Indiana?? Have yet to see one anywhere..... Point me to a place, please!!! 😃

What's your locale? I'll get a case of OF bday. 😅

The guy with the beard talks too much...
