    My neighbor is a “Friend of the Trace” and invited me to go with him to a barrel pick of Eagle Rare. They bottled it a few months later and I bought a bottle. It’s probably the best bourbon I’ve ever had. It is head and shoulders above and beyond the normal Eagle Rare. My second favorite was Stagg Jr. -pure brown sugar.

    The saying you don't know what you've got until it's gone definitely applies to me. The local grocery store would routinely have their eagle rare store pick for $30 and would put them on sale for $25 around Mardi Gras. Now I can't find a normal eagle rare

    There are currently 10 different Buffalo Trace products in my collection with Elmer T and Antique 107 being the two most recent. If I absolutely had to classify top to bottom (not an easy task by any means) From the top down it would look something like this. Elmer T Lee, Weller 12, Weller Antique 107, Eagle Rare, E.H. Taylor (Small Batch), Blanton's (Single Barrel), Weller Special Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Kosher Wheat Recipe, Benchmark (Single Barrel). In reality, from the Elmer to the Taylor, those are all hard to put one in front of the other as they are all so good.
