birdie Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Local store just put this on sale for $32, I have heard this is a pretty nice tasting bourbon, but not sure if this is a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 It is a good bourbon and that's a great price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOwhisky4me Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yes, that's a good price for Col EH Taylor Small Batch. Depending on area of the country, it typically runs $39-50. I just picked up a bottle while on vacation in Colorado in the Westminster area north of Denver and it was $38.99 on sale. Definitely worth picking up for $32!

jackthedog Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yes, that's a pretty good price. I see it at $39.99 (when I see it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I agree with what everyone else has said. It's a pretty good bourbon, and it's at a great price. It's the same here, just like jackthedog posted. On the shelf for $39.99. I can't recall ever seeing it cheaper than that in my neck of the woods, or anywhere else either. Buy one or two, and enjoy. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The UK retail price of this is about $135 so by not buying it I'll just take it as an insult... enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks All, seems like worth picking up, if anyone is in the Boulder CO area I am more than happy to let you know where it is, they had cases stacked up yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender4 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Yes, buy. I personally like it better than Eagle Rare 10, even though ER10 is older and I like older bourbons (EC12, even, yes I admit, orphan barrel bourbons). Punches above its price class to a lot that's out there. I haven't had the single barrel but to be honest, with the quality of the small batch, I'm not willing to pay nearly twice the price for it.

Fort Knox Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I will buy EHTSmB every single time I see it for $40 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canarse Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 CEHT Small Batch is one of the best things for the price that comes out of the BT distillery IMO. Well, maybe OWA is, but you get my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Agree with all of the others. It is a regular buy for me at $34 in my neck of the woods. One of my favorite daily sippers. It won't blow you away, but something about it keeps me coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thig Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I guess everyone's taste is different but I wasn't impressed by it at all. It certainly wouldn't rank anywhere near the top of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) I would pick up a case at that price. It is my favorite bourbon to take to a party. Taste good and nice looking package. I always keep a few bottles on hand. PS This is my 1111 post. It looks so good I hate to post again...like when your car has a major millage milestone so you pull over and don't want to drive anymore ... OK I'm crazy.

birdie Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 I did exactly that, bought a case, just over $200 inc tax out the door. If you are local its at Hazels's Beverage World in Boulder. Tried some last night and I really liked it, nice easy drinker, and like the poster above it will be a great "take to a party" bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonutsNBourbon Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 that's exactly what I'm doing, taking it to my cousin's house in Indy this weekend. I also brought a bottle to poker night and we went through the bottle quick! I've brought bottles of 1792, EC12, larceny and Jefferson's to poker before, but this was the bottle that they went through completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 First bottle of this Imever had was fantastic. That was 3-4 years ago. Ever since then they've been average at best and sometimes pretty hot on the palate. During this time, the price has gone up to about $47. I'm definitely out at that price.

I find ER10 to be a little too smooth and lacking in bitterness or bite. I find CEHTsmB to be one of my favorite BT masbill 1 products. A perfect balance IMO. Different strokes for different folks I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 My 2 pennies...fantastic price. Wow and a damn good bourbon but at that price a really good bourbon ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_mays Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 It definitely has a very different taste than most of the BT lineup. I don't drink it often but it's a nice change of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly...it depends on the night for me and what I've eaten previously. Generally, I wouldn't put Eagle Rare in a $50+ bourbon category, but at its price, it's a great value. For me, EHTSmB does what it is meant to, being a low rye, youngish bourbon. Very fruit forward/sweet. To me not much finish to speak of. May not be the most complex thing around but the quality of what it does is great, especially for $32. May not be the best barometer but Bib & Tucker sells for $50...in which case, even Macallan 25 at $1,000 would be a better value/dollar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
