Picked this up tonight for a party tomorrow evening...
Eagle Rare, aged 10 yrs, single barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. I am looking forward to giving this a try. It is a mid to high price range bourbon.
Will be drinking in honor of Gypsy's Marine cousin as well in honor of Eagle5US who is the reason I bought this brand in the first place. LOL
Of course, after several of these tommorrow night... I will switch into my alter ego(and FWIW, true self) and be drinking in my own honor. :D (see pic #2)

I am glad to see you drinking fine American whiskey, Saca. I will have to try this stuff and see if it lives up to its name.
TR: I request that you copy the review you did elsewhere of a fine bourbon and post a thread in this forum. It was fine review and may help Saca write his. :)

What the hell is going on with you tonight? First you say Special Forces soldiers = another name for "airborne infantry" and now you miss the fighting cock bourbon joke. It IS in the picture above BTW. :D LOL
Now, it appears to me you might need a few swiggs of FC. By all means, tilt it up, just use your shirt tail to clean off the top before passing it back.

I may live in California, but you should never assume that I am going to recognize any abbrevation of a phrase including the word “cock.” Not something I pay much attention to.
I am in a bar dealing with a lengthy flight delay. 32-ounce beers are well designed.
...just use your shirt tail to clean off the top before passing it back.
LMAO! I gotta find some of that FC. Nothing better to usher in the Year of the Rooster.

Now that I am using a real computer, rather than Blackberry, I see that the bottle in the second picture is the FC. I could not see detail on my Blackberry and assumed that it was the same bottle with a different screen behind it. :rolleyes:

IN process of getting out some refreshments for the party and thought I would post a pic during the setup... yyyuuuummmm.
I will keep the good stuff for myself off the main table- except I put the Eagle out for me tonight. :D Don't worry, there is backup inventory onsite in case of emergency. LOL
Saca breaks into song and heads back outside to tend to grill setup and marinade:
Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody feelin' right
Gonna have a party, a week from Saturday night

I can arrange to continue the party til your arrival if you phone ahead (sorry- offer good only if you already know my number so don't ask).

00:20 report on Eagle Rare....
This shit makes me want to drink like one of those Kali boys with my pinky finger all poked out to the side while I drink. Does that explain how smooth and sissy it is? I mean HELL, I feel like i should clean my glass between new ones it is so smooth and "nice"....
damn... I like it. Smooth and a hint of sweetness ... not much bite... need MORE!!! hahha
back to party before HH6b catches me in here on the computer. LOL
REAL review(sober) of Eagle coming tomorrow. :)

Not sure what you need to add. Nice review.

Hey now. Not all of us are as posh as RL. Some of us Cali boys are solid, two-fisted drinkers. :lifter

Did some checking. They also make a 17-year version, but it costs 4x as much!
I think I'll try the 10 first.

RL-
I will try a single (small) glass on the rocks tonight... results from Saturday night may be "influenced" by the activities. I may match it up against another of the finer ones for comparison.
It was good. I will let you know "how good" tonight. Please understand, I dont drink that often anymore. When I do, I have been known to revert into my alter ego. That alter ego has been known to refer to a jar of moonshine as very smmmooooooooootttthhhh when I "tie one on"... so caution before ordering the expensive bottle. haha
Funny observation: Did you notice how many times I typed the word "Smooth" in my drunk guy post from 00:20. LOL Vocabulary was definitely one of the first casualties of the evening. I actually edited that damn thing about ten times trying to get all the misstypes and sentences to make some sort of sense. Haha

I had missed that somehow... I am SO glad you went there with the two fisting for Dan the man. :eek: If I had seen that saturday night while under the influence, I would probably have been banned for my photoshopped forgey pic of Dan in your defense. :D

...and THAT is why you have never seen a picture of me posted on this board no matter where or who can see it. LOL
Let me add in my defense that not only is that not a picture of me (as SHOT Show attendees can attest), but also that it couldn't possibly be: I don't know what that fellow is drinking, but those glasses are far too small to be of any use at my house (the only exception being the lowballs I keep for the occasional fine whiskey or bourbon).
Nice trick, Saca, trying to get me and RL to turn on each other. Lord knows we get enough grief as Californians as-is. We already have to put up with Feinstein and Boxer... now smart-ass jawbreakers? Sheesh!

Update:
I had a 2oz jigger on the rocks. I also tried it neat.
IMO, it is better on the rocks after the water has cut it a little. My opinion remains that it is a smooth bourbon- no flip flopping here :D . Interestingly (to me) there is no aroma associated with the bourbon that I could detect when I was tasting it compared with a standard bourbons. As far as taste, there was not much sweetness to this bourbon. It does have a long "finish" especially when drinking it neat.
I am not even going to try and get more specifc than that with all the other flavors, etc. I am not that good, nor skilled at tasting. I would however recommend it as an addition to anyone's bourbon tasting experience.

I looked for it at the store the other day, but they didn't have it. They did have FC, but I did not get any. Was that a mistake?

Oh...... uhhhh...... it depends on the motive of your purchase. It isn't that bad, but it is NOT a fine bourbon.
If you mix it with something like coke, it is not bad as it is a good "mixing" bourbon that is over 100 proof. Also, drinking fighting cock bourbon puts hair on your chest, and that may be good for you out there in Kali. :D

That was my impression, and this store is overpriced. They wanted like $18 or 20 a bottle IIRC, and it did not look like it was worth it. The store has a great selection, but you pay for that.

It would just get ripped off with wax anyway. :D
When I offered my wife some Blanton's the other night, she said great, put a lot of Coke in it. :eek: But it tastes real good with Coke too! :D

Actually, to be honest, you can get a lot more alcohol in a lady's drink if you use the good stuff. ;)

Trust me, after a few fighting cock's down the hatch, most XX will gladly allow you to check to see if the hairy chest myth is true. :eek:
Razor - please ignore the above sentences. It is just to easy for a master like you, and there was no way to word it differently and still get the point across. LOL
That phrase is one I grew up with... when I was young, anytime I didn't want to persevere or do something hard/tough/scary- my father would tell me to get out there and do it... Why i would ask? "Cause it puts hair on your chest boy!"
It isn't that bad, but it is NOT a fine bourbon.
...
Also, drinking fighting cock bourbon puts hair on your chest...I finally found it, and you ain't lyin' Doc. It is rough. Not bad with a generous amount of Coke though. Plus, it's a cool looking bottle. And I don't doubt the hair part, even for an Asian dude.
Off to examine my chest...... :)
