Somewhere on the General Discussion board is a craft beer thread, but I thought I'd start a bourbon thread to discuss bourbons of note, any new ones we've tried, etc.
I bought a bottle of Eagle Rare over the weekend that I cracked open last night (first time I've had it as I've only seen it in internet reviews). I like it, it's very similar (to me at least) to Buffalo Trace but it finishes a bit hotter despite being the same proof as BT (which is my favorite for the money).
In general, the bourbon industry is insane and prices, especially on the secondary market, are approaching ridiculousness. A friend of mine saw Old Weller Special Reserve, normally retailing for about $30, go for $250 on facebook.
