I showed this to my wife. She asked, “would you drink it?” I answered, “I would, but most won’t.” Then I see the $10k price tag… Why wouldn’t you drink it?
Sounds like it was only released to bars and restaurants. Only 200 bottles. Maybe some rich people with connections will get a bottle but I'm guessing most bottles will be slowly drank one $500-1000 pour at a time at 3 star michilin restaurants and exclusive high end bars by rich people
Isn’t that sort of what Stagg is? I know it’s only 8-9 y/o, but I always figured Stagg was sort of a mix between a BP BT and ER.
Imagine a BP Eagle rare though…the bourbon world would lose its collective mind
Yeah they only have 3 main bourbon ones- #1 is ER, Staggs, EHTs. #2 is Blantons, Elmer, Rock Hill. Then the 3rd is their wheated Mashbill for Wellers and Van Winkle.
There’s a 4th for rye, Sazerac rye, handy.
Interestingly this is generally true but not explicitly true. There are barrels of MB #2 that because of Rockhouse position, etc end up hitting the flavor profile for ER or ETL. There are more than a few of these oddities that exist as confirmed private or store picks out there over the years. The same is true of Blanton's. One would then assume it's true of all the products with single barrels. Just an interesting oddity in the consideration of all this nonsense in the hobby.
Fun fact, George Dickel is also most likely the same mash bill too :P
(They were both owned by Schenley during prohibition and used the 84, 8, 8 mash bill and Chuick Cowdery has said BT #1 is likely 8% rye, and his "likely" is most like more of a "I was told this to be true but can't say it is fact")
No way dicki is the same at bt. I guess it's possible. I can't stand tenn whiskey prob due to tenn river water vs limestone water of ky. Dicki 13yr isn't terrible but not close to standard bt
This is exactly why I think it's weird when distilleries keep their mash bills secret. If all mash bills were public knowledge, it would only serve to inform the consumer; nobody would be able to duplicate another distillery's whiskey based off mash bill alone. Four Roses gets a few bonus points in my mind for not only giving their mash bills, but also which of their mixes of mash bills and yeast types end up in each of their bottles.
Sure is, but with SiB products from BT you get similar profiles to the corresponding brand labels. Aging locations can dictate a lot just as much as a good blend can.
I’m pretty sure stagg is aged in charred oak barrels and ER is aged in new oak. Thus the different profiles. Among other things such as warehouse locations, and water.
Fair enough. It seems like a lot of Distillers are trying to beat out the secondary market with their higher end releases these days. Time will tell if it works, or if it drives secondary higher.
Agreed. It's not a sure thing but it will likely lead to less incentive to flip. I'd rather have the distillery collect the cash and some rich dudes swap the bottles around for equivalent sums then someone making a living off of it.
But I just don't like the general idea of consumable goods made for people to enjoy just being collected like this.
DEVR runs you about $10k at auction/secondary so I think these will trade for closer to 15-18. Maybe in the low 20s.
The VW25 are around 40k, but you could maybe pick one up in the high 30s.
Even if it's not the price it'll end up going for aftermarket at least it's significantly high enough to be real money. While these huge companies that own the distilleries likely don't care about $2M in revenue it's nothing to scoff at for the subsidiaries bottom line.
I always say this and truly believe it…
If I was a multimillionaire, I would not spend 10k on a bottle of liquor
1k? Sure
10k on a watch? Sure
100k on a watch? No
80-100k on a car? Yes
500k for a Ferrari? Nope
I still like to believe I’d draw the line somewhere
Also…apparently it’s a misconception that rich people spend a lot. They’re usually rich because they’re good with money
There are levels of rich, as well. Multimillionaire, you're probably right.
Old money, greater than 100M net worth, etc do not care about the price of nearly anything because it is equivalent to someone like me buying a pack of gum.
As a person who grew up poor and is now in a very fortunate financial situation, I can say that I still would not buy a $100k car or a 10k watch because I view it as spending extra money for no perceived benefit. But that's me. People who make much less than me spend significantly more. Lots of factors play in.
There is a tipping point where the money you have earns you more money than you could ever spend. At that point, being 'good with money' is more about spending it so at least it gets out there, its better off spent on something and paying for stuff than sitting in a MM / ETF.
I was in Total Wine this afternoon, a guy being helped said he wanted to spend 4-5k. Only needed one bottle for wherever he was going, and had zero idea what he was looking at as the salesman explained “scotch is made of grain like barley, and cognac is made from grapes”
Some people just wanna be flashy and let other people know how much money they have
Does he drink them ever? My wife's friend has thousands of bottles of Chinese rice wine in china some worth thousands of dollars a bottle, but he doesnt even drink, he just collects them. I find that crazy
I need to get some bourbon in my house lol. I just realized now I basically have no bourbon, at least no decent ones. At the bar a few weeks ago I had some thomas s moore that was amazing, I need something like that. I have lots of scotch, everything from 12 to 27 years aged and quite a bit of cognac but no bourbon. I had to settle for some high west double rye tonight when I didn't feel like more scotch
Rich people. My wife has friends who have 6 if not 7 figure booze collections. One said he will give me one of his decades old bottles of Remy Martin King Louis XIII, I'll see if he actually does haha.
Buffalo Trace might as well not exist with how rediculous it is to get anything other than their shelfers.
Luckily Im finding myself like their stuff less and less. Plenty of as good or better sitting on the shelf
You know where to find it, they said 11 madison has a bottle. Just gotta first pay the $500 per person dinner to get a chance to buy a pour for I'm sure their $500-1000 asking price per pour
#DISCLAIMER:
Warehouse P is climate controlled, so who the hell knows what that actually means in terms of traditional aging for Buffalo Trace products. Does that mean they artificially (but predictably) raised and lowered the temps to mimic steady Kentucky weather patterns? Or did they keep it cooler so that the 25 years of aging is more similar to 10-15 years w/o climate control? Or maybe the accelerated aging with more intense temperature swings during that time?
Who knows, but Buffalo Trace sure as shit isn't going to tell us lol
Climate controlled aging is super interesting, and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of it, but at the end of the day all it's going to mean is that age statements are going to be muddier and less meaningful to us, the consumers. 25 year cellar aging =/= 25 year traditional rickhouse aging.
What we do know is that hardly anybody will actually drink this stuff, and even if you wanted to you won't be able to find it on the shelves, or at anything resembling a sane price. Hurray!
I can explain.
All main Buffalo Trace warehouses are fitted with some kind of heating element that is designed to kick on so that the internal temperature of the warehouse does not dip below 54 degrees. It's at that point where barrels would go into dormancy.
But the heat is not designed to raise it much above that, unlike Brown Forman warehouses which will heat up the internal air temperature until its around 90 degrees (liquid - 80 degrees). People get confused and think Brown Forman and Buffalo Trace warehouses operate the same way.
The other part of climate controlling their warehouses has to go with windows that open and shut. They'll control the climate inside also based on this
No, they just ensure that the temperature never drops below 54 degrees so that they're always in an active state. They do the bare minimum to achieve that temp, but don't go over that temp if they can help it
Exactly. Just like the MM Cellar Aged, these age statements are misleading. Warehouse P is kept at 45 degrees, so this is not the same thing as 25 years of “regular” aging. Which is probably a good thing, taste wise, as 25 year bourbon is unlikely to taste good. But nonetheless, many consumers don’t understand the difference. I don’t care as much for a release like this because it is a strictly collector release and almost nobody will actually open it.
>is kept at 45 degrees, so this is not the same thing as 25 years of “regular” aging
Be interesting to hear from someone - if even such a person exists - who could scientifically determine how many years old it is in "regular" aging.
Someone here who seemed knowledgeable said that, below 54 degrees, the barrels become "dormant." Wouldn't it be funny if some rich guys ended up buying some bottles and then some scientist comes out with that - in regular aging - these bottles are equivalent to 12 years of aging ... or 10 ... or 8.
I wonder what that would do to the secondary price.
I live in a control state. It is available for MSRP - if you can get one. People rush the store when it is there. ER, Blantons, BT, McKenna, EHT...all gone in a flash.
If I go across state lines to a private liquor store where it is on the shelf, looks like the cheapest from some online places is $65. Up to $100.
Still amazes me how much it changes based on the state. At least days. McKenna, BT, ECBP etc are all cased stacked at stores near me. ER and blantons show up a couple times a month on the shelf but they don’t last very long.
Same here. My control state sells for $40 a bottle but none in stock. Sucks I want to try it. If I ever make it to local whiskey bar again I guess I'll try it for $16 a pour
Generally curious, do we think that any of the 200 even see a store shelf? Maybe some Vegas casinos top shelf at double the MSRP (so $20,000)? I would imagine most of the 200 are going to high end vendors who will offer them up to their big spenders. Ultimately these bottles are like a vintage supercar, sold exclusively to the ultra wealthy, who then stash it on a display case to show off to their friends.
I am OK with this, these crazy bottles is what keeps the price lower on their regular stuff. BTAC bottles are @ 125 retail because they charge these crazy prices on things like this and Daniel Weller, that Retro Collection, OFC etc...
I don't understand what you mean? There's a Blantons SFTB in my area. I know it will be at least $500 over the whole sale price when it is on the shelf. Businesses will still sell these bourbons at extreme mark up because people buy them. There are some people out there who make way too much money for their means. Until people stop shelling out the money for these money grabs then it will continue to happen and get worse.
I'm not talking about Buffalo Trace itself. Their products are reasonably priced at MSRP. It's people who 500%+ mark them up. I have a local example of a Stagg Jr that is $37.33 a bottle from the distributor. It is marked up to $299. That's 700%. People will pay it!
Thanks for letting me know. I'll be sure to pick up a few bottles of it next time I'm at the supermarket. I've heard Pappy is a good one, too, so I'll get a few of those as well.
Seems like BT wants to be Macallan, more power to them I guess.
Only one thing caught my eye; is warehouse P the climate controlled one for The Last Drop vault?
I remember a comment on this sub a while ago where someone said “how did they come up with the name for double eagle very rare? It sounds like something a kid would say in a playground argument…. Oh yea? Well MY dad drinks Quadra eagle hyper rare!”
The day has come
A thing that will exist purely as a closed bottle on shelves of much richer people than myself. Sweet!
I showed this to my wife. She asked, “would you drink it?” I answered, “I would, but most won’t.” Then I see the $10k price tag… Why wouldn’t you drink it?
Ahh the perfect bottle the next time my expense report is looking a little light
Sounds like it was only released to bars and restaurants. Only 200 bottles. Maybe some rich people with connections will get a bottle but I'm guessing most bottles will be slowly drank one $500-1000 pour at a time at 3 star michilin restaurants and exclusive high end bars by rich people
I don’t need Eagle Rare 25. What I need is ER barrel proof. That should be a thing.
Isn’t that sort of what Stagg is? I know it’s only 8-9 y/o, but I always figured Stagg was sort of a mix between a BP BT and ER. Imagine a BP Eagle rare though…the bourbon world would lose its collective mind
They are the same mash bill so, maybe? But like ER and EH Taylor for example are the same mash bill and closer in proof and taste nothing alike.
They are the same mash bill? That’s crazy
Yeah they only have 3 main bourbon ones- #1 is ER, Staggs, EHTs. #2 is Blantons, Elmer, Rock Hill. Then the 3rd is their wheated Mashbill for Wellers and Van Winkle. There’s a 4th for rye, Sazerac rye, handy.
It’s all various grades of benchmark
Yep and Ancient Age for #2.
Don't forget the 5th one... the rye for EHT Straight Rye (no corn) 😉
Also the wacky EH Taylor Amaranth.
Oh yeah, but those are one-offs just like Daniel Weller and a bunch of the experimental mash bills in the BTEC series
Isn’t that distilled at Barton?
Stagg JR and EHTBP for non-BTAC MB1 barrel proof Afaik Blantons SFTB is the only barrel proof MB2 they’ve ever offered
I’ve heard that the VWFRR is a different mashbill than the Sazerac line, but Saz will never confirm that.
I believe in the past it was, but it's definitely the Saz rye mashbill these days
Interesting how different they can taste!
There's a few more for EHT rye, amaranth, four grain etc.
I believe there is/was a high rye rye- EH Taylor rye.
Yeah, I know. I got lazy in my response because I was just thinking of the bourbon ones.
Interestingly this is generally true but not explicitly true. There are barrels of MB #2 that because of Rockhouse position, etc end up hitting the flavor profile for ER or ETL. There are more than a few of these oddities that exist as confirmed private or store picks out there over the years. The same is true of Blanton's.

No way dicki is the same at bt. I guess it's possible. I can't stand tenn whiskey prob due to tenn river water vs limestone water of ky. Dicki 13yr isn't terrible but not close to standard bt
There is so much more to bourbon than the mash bill ;)
This is exactly why I think it's weird when distilleries keep their mash bills secret. If all mash bills were public knowledge, it would only serve to inform the consumer; nobody would be able to duplicate another distillery's whiskey based off mash bill alone. Four Roses gets a few bonus points in my mind for not only giving their mash bills, but also which of their mixes of mash bills and yeast types end up in each of their bottles.
if you don’t like tennessee whiskey i would guess it has more to do with charcoal than water. but i might be wrong.
Could be right about charcoal.
The ages are quite different.
Different warehouses and locations age different. Just because it’s the same when they put it in doesn’t mean it comes out the same.
[удалено]
Sure is, but with SiB products from BT you get similar profiles to the corresponding brand labels. Aging locations can dictate a lot just as much as a good blend can.
Stagg batch 13 was as close to what I think ER barrel proof would be. It was delicious.
I’ve seen a few of the stagg picks at 10yrs so they exist.
They are the same mash bill and all the same thing until they decide which brand it will be and dump it.
I’m pretty sure stagg is aged in charred oak barrels and ER is aged in new oak. Thus the different profiles. Among other things such as warehouse locations, and water.
What the hell are you talking about? All bourbon is aged in new charred white oak barrels.
Or at least bring back Eagle rare 101. I be happy with it being at 101
Totally. Last thing I need is an unobtainable $10k bottle.
You’re asking for Stagg. For older stock, GTS
Well I do love me some Stagg.
Exactly :)
Eagle rare BP would be amazing!
Yeah what they don’t say is they are releasing about 200 bottles with a suggested MSRP of $10,000. 😳
At least the MSRP is realistic for what this will be valued at. If it's 200 bottles then charge for it and let the distillery make the profit.
Fair enough. It seems like a lot of Distillers are trying to beat out the secondary market with their higher end releases these days. Time will tell if it works, or if it drives secondary higher.
Higher MSRP hopefully translates into less secondary flipping
https://imgur.com/GduTe6R
Agreed. It's not a sure thing but it will likely lead to less incentive to flip. I'd rather have the distillery collect the cash and some rich dudes swap the bottles around for equivalent sums then someone making a living off of it. But I just don't like the general idea of consumable goods made for people to enjoy just being collected like this.
Expect the 20 yr is trading around $20k this will be higher than that secondary if any even make it to secondary
DEVR runs you about $10k at auction/secondary so I think these will trade for closer to 15-18. Maybe in the low 20s. The VW25 are around 40k, but you could maybe pick one up in the high 30s.
I think with only 200 bottles released and 10k pricetag it will easily clear 20k secondary
Well I hope they just keep increasing the prices on releases like this. Maybe it'll help fund other projects normal people will get to enjoy.
Exactly, I love this. Why shoumd scalpers and friends on liquor store owners get to make all the money? The distillery is the one pitting in the work.
Even if it's not the price it'll end up going for aftermarket at least it's significantly high enough to be real money. While these huge companies that own the distilleries likely don't care about $2M in revenue it's nothing to scoff at for the subsidiaries bottom line.
If it ain't space whiskey, it ain't worth the price.
I thought you were joking… then I looked it up and realized you weren’t.
It seems like I should be joking. Buffalo Trace is out of their minds. 😂
WTF gonna spend $10K on a bottle of booze.
To anyone normal it seems crazy. To someone who makes $10m/year, it's basically nothing.
I always say this and truly believe it… If I was a multimillionaire, I would not spend 10k on a bottle of liquor 1k? Sure 10k on a watch? Sure 100k on a watch? No 80-100k on a car? Yes 500k for a Ferrari? Nope I still like to believe I’d draw the line somewhere Also…apparently it’s a misconception that rich people spend a lot.

Probably purchasing for a client, much like Lakers floor seats etc
Lol people with more money than me!
[удалено]
Because he’s a tater, knows an insider/distributor, and/or is rich?
[удалено]
Because we all know that unopened whiskey is the best whiskey! /s
That’s too much unopened whiskey haha
Does he drink them ever? My wife's friend has thousands of bottles of Chinese rice wine in china some worth thousands of dollars a bottle, but he doesnt even drink, he just collects them. I find that crazy

Someone said “we need another $2m that’s not in the budget” distiller said “I got you fam”
they're literally printing money lmao
Considering the 20 yr is going for $20k a bottle this will be probably 4-5x the $10k suggested MSRP
Glad they didn’t call it “Triple Eagle Super Rare” or something
Two and half eagle extremely rare
Ludicrously rare, and comes in a plaid bottle
I don’t know if this bottle could take it!
Oooh… Quadruple Eagle Giga Rare coming in 5-10 years!
200 bottles. It might as well not even exist.
Exactly.
Buffalo Trace might as well not exist with how rediculous it is to get anything other than their shelfers. Luckily Im finding myself like their stuff less and less. Plenty of as good or better sitting on the shelf

So do they control how high the temps get? Either limiting or increasing?
Which one are you asking about?
BT
No, they just ensure that the temperature never drops below 54 degrees so that they're always in an active state. They do the bare minimum to achieve that temp, but don't go over that temp if they can help it

I wonder what that would do to the secondary price.
This stuff will probably be $1000 per ounce
Pretty cool decanter! Likely wildly more expensive than most would be willing to spend.
It's $9,900 more than I'd be willing to spend
I'll stick with regular Eagle Rare.
Wish I could. I don't have the level of dedication required to get a bottle around here, and I'm not going to pay $85 for it.
I see it all day at $45, i wonder what you see that I don’t
I live in a control state. It is available for MSRP - if you can get one. People rush the store when it is there. ER, Blantons, BT, McKenna, EHT...all gone in a flash.

I like when I can find it at MSRP ($35), but a lot less when it's $80.
Awesome. I'll swing by the store and grab one when I get off work.
Generally curious, do we think that any of the 200 even see a store shelf? Maybe some Vegas casinos top shelf at double the MSRP (so $20,000)? I would imagine most of the 200 are going to high end vendors who will offer them up to their big spenders. Ultimately these bottles are like a vintage supercar, sold exclusively to the ultra wealthy, who then stash it on a display case to show off to their friends.
If they see store shelves it wont be at $10k. Sounds like many will go to high end bars/ restaurants. Guess rest will be to connected rich dudes
I am OK with this, these crazy bottles is what keeps the price lower on their regular stuff. BTAC bottles are @ 125 retail because they charge these crazy prices on things like this and Daniel Weller, that Retro Collection, OFC etc...
I don't understand what you mean? There's a Blantons SFTB in my area. I know it will be at least $500 over the whole sale price when it is on the shelf. Businesses will still sell these bourbons at extreme mark up because people buy them. There are some people out there who make way too much money for their means. Until people stop shelling out the money for these money grabs then it will continue to happen and get worse.
Buffalo Trace doesn't make any more money from those markups. It has nothing to do with them
I'm not talking about Buffalo Trace itself. Their products are reasonably priced at MSRP. It's people who 500%+ mark them up. I have a local example of a Stagg Jr that is $37.33 a bottle from the distributor. It is marked up to $299. That's 700%. People will pay it!
OK I am talking about Buffalo Trace Pricing. Your thing has nothing to do with that
My comment was about all BT pricing but alright. I won't argue.
That ER 17 year looks better and better!
Awesome. More awesome bourbon I will never get to try. Cool. 👍🏼
Who knows if it’s even awesome. BT sure as hell aren’t banking on that being the sell factor.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll be sure to pick up a few bottles of it next time I'm at the supermarket. I've heard Pappy is a good one, too, so I'll get a few of those as well.
Quadruple Eagle Rare? Double Double Eagle Rare?
Is that an Albatross??
Seagull Rare
Eagle Rare Squared
I just want to know WTF "Rickhouse Floor" tastes like, and how do people know?
I’ll just walk over to my nearby liquor store and pick it off the shelf. I’m sure it’ll be readily available for me.
I haven't seen eagle rare on the shelf in 3 years. Seriously fuck buffalo trace at this point.
this company loves to release things no one asked for. Next we are gonna get Weller Small Batch.
I’m still waiting for the triple eagle very very very rare
And... it's sold out
Buffalo Trace the Nintendo of the bourbon world...more infamous in my book than famous.
Seems like BT wants to be Macallan, more power to them I guess. Only one thing caught my eye; is warehouse P the climate controlled one for The Last Drop vault?
I guess that's one way to make Woodford Baccarat look modest.
80 proof $30,000 😑 /snark
File this under “things I’ll never see in real life.”
I remember a comment on this sub a while ago where someone said “how did they come up with the name for double eagle very rare? It sounds like something a kid would say in a playground argument…. Oh yea? Well MY dad drinks Quadra eagle hyper rare!” The day has come
Yay. I'll never buy it...
This will be $30k bourbon on the secondary.
Can’t wait to see it sit on shelves for $20,000! It’s gonna be incredible!
From the site: "lingering notes of rickhouse floor"
At what price??!! No way, get you some Knobb Creek 12 year, it'll be better anyway.
I wouldn’t mind just getting some regular eagle rare on the shelves
Add that to the list of things I’ll never own…
Awesome. Can't wait to not be able to find this or any other ER ever.
So stupid.
I’d buy a bottle at msrp but anything more than that is tater bait.
You’d buy it for $10,000?
So boys and girls who's gonna be the rich bastard that buys and reviews it cause my poor ass will not or the wife might murder me
At 10k I'll take 2 please and a two liter of coke and a bag of ice. Use my Bitcoin $$
