ralfy review 1122 Extras – When a whisky retailer ‘pumps’ their prices 😨

Eagle Rare 12YO, 47.5%

THE VIDEO

I, like many others, was quite excited when this hit the UK shores. Eagle Rare is such a solid bottle of bourbon, especially when you can get it for a normal price – in all honesty, we’re lucky to have access to something as good as that.

Enter Eagle Rare 12 Year Old! a slightly older, boozier version of a gold standard. The big question is, do we think it’s worth the extra £20/£25 per bottle? Those extra few years in Kentucky warehousing can be brutal on flavour as well as evaporation. The shelves are less dense with aged bourbon than they used to be, but it does go to show that bourbon of this age is certainly doable.

Age isn’t an indicator of quality, we’re looking for flavour differences and flavour intensity. Does this do more? Is it more complex? Does the flavour last for longer? Those are the questions that are going to convince you to possibly part with 50% more than the price of the 10 Year Old classic.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 598: Williamson 14 Year Old 2010 The Roots for Buds & Barrels

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries an excellent Islay malt. It’s an open secret that Williamson comes from the Laphroaig Distillery. It’s obviously a reference to Elizabeth ‘Bessie’ Williamson, who managed the distillery from 1954 to 1972. It was Joren from The Roots who managed to get his hands on the cask and Tom from Buds & Barrels who had it bottled for his shop. The number of bottles? No idea. The label jokingly states ‘Bottle one of not many’.
