It along with WL Weller a wheated bourbon, I consider the best values of the Buffalo Trace collection. You can spend more, but these two are as good as they get IMHO.

Yes, I work for Buffalo Trace.


The 12 year old Weller is a steal.

Just not as smooth and easy to drink to me as the Eagle Rare. I had a few fingers of Four Roses and then a few fingers of Eagle Rare. The Eagle Rare was better to me.

But I guess my bottle of Four Roses could taste different than your bottle of Four Roses - single barrel and all.

I'm 50 Y.O., but have only been drinking whiskey for about 2 years. I'm still learning a lot.

Bought 2 more bottles (1 for a friend that I got hooked on Eagle Rare) and opened one. It's dang good! I'm hooked.

$28-$29/bottle. Not too bad.
