A true friend and exemplary BOTL hooked me up with some front range finds never seen in my allocated bourbon desert. All at just a touch above msrp including tax. Shipping is a bitch though.

Very nice collection! Just had a pour of the Stagg over the weekend. Hard to believe it's Mashbill #1 (the same as EHT). Seems far more flavorful. And the "Kentucky Hug" on that baby is breathtaking!!!

I picked up a bottle of Eagle Rare 12 y-o at Duty Free for $49. I think I paid $50 for the bottle of 10 y-o a few years back and since I had one dram left, I decided to to a side by side.
At first sip I found the 12 to be much boozier than the 10, more than I expected the 2.5% additional ABV would be. The 12 had slightly more presence of vanilla and char (like burnt toast) on the finish once the alcohol wafted away. I set the 12 aside and finished the 10 over the next half hour or so. I went back to the 12 then and found the initial booziness had diminished some and it softened a bit. I got much more of the oak influence. At $49, the 12 was well worth it. Here in the states I don’t know if it’s worth a premium ($15+) over the 10.
