2019 Eagle Rare "Zipps Liquor" Store Pick Bourbon Review
I sauntered into Zipps Liquor in Dayton, TX and lo and behold they had one of these bad boys available. I like to try picks from rando stores because you never know what gem you might find - or turd. Lots of turds out there.
As I've written before I think Eagle Rare is wildly overrated and the people that freak out about it have never tried good booze and are on the hype train to Mediocreville. I've been surprised by a few lately though so it's slowly getting back in my good graces.
In a nose I got berries, a ton of herbs and I swear, y'all some Coca-Cola. Not sure what it is that gives it that scent but I'm picking it up all day. In da mouf I got a ton of disappointment with what feels like vanilla flavoring, oak and and lazy ass cinnamon. This one was more like the typical Eagle Rare meh offering but isn't terrible. Just meh.
If you just want something to drink or to share with the commoners then this is what this particular bottle is for. Nothing special but won't make you vomit after kissing a stripper in Mexico.
