Just bought some new Bourbon to try.

PLEASE try Eagle Rare 10 - if you like bourbon, you will like that spirit. Buffalo Trace and Bulleit are more along the lines for a cocktail, whereas Bakers or Eagle Rare are perfect on their own.

Yep, pretty much right on the money.

Thanks. The "on their own" part it what I look for in a sipping whiskey. I'll drink an occasional manhattan before dinner but I'm primarily a sippin' whiskey kinda guy. I don't usually drink cocktails.

I plan to take your advice and try the Eagle Rare 10.

You will probably also like Bakers if you like drinking whiskey the right way: neat.

I'm currently working on a bottle of Booker's. I'm always amazed that 128.6 proof can be so smooth.
