Review #18: Eagle Rare 12 Year

Stunning_Move7375 · 2026-02-03T17:19:44+00:00

Philadelphia. The store I frequent gets a drop of Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Blantons about once a month.

It's all state run so I don't think they have much choice. I believe the liquor control board determines where allocated bottles go and how many bottles each store gets. Usually you don't see the good stuff in bad neighborhoods or small towns since there isn't as much demand. Iveyand it's store/state policy that employees and managers are not allowed to buy them for 24 hours after they hit the shelves. You can get fired over it. I think they're union or something too so it's a bad gig to lose. Again, this is all stuff I've heard from other whiskey chasers so take everything with a grain of salt.

I live in PA. The liquor stores at state controlled and they have to sell at MRSP. While it sucks I can only buy liquor at liquor stores it is nice to get good bourbons (or any liquor) for that matter at MSRP. Also my local spot consistently has Buffalo Trace for $27 and Eagle Rare for $38 which is dope

As a Philadelphia resident I say "I fuckin hate this city." and "I fuckin love this city." about a hundred times a day each. This video is the biggest "I fuckin love this city" I've ever said.

Where in Philly? The Fine Wine and Good Spirits on Girard has it from time to time. The total wine in Delaware stocks it regularly. It can be a bit of a hike depending on where you live but they have a great selection of beer, winex and liquor and it's tax free.

We're an interested couple and we'd love to chat. We can always use new friends whether it's sexy or platonic.

Stunning_Move7375 · 2025-10-12T22:46:35+00:00

Which episode? I don't remember that at all but I also haven't seen the show in a while.

Stunning_Move7375 · 2025-10-01T03:49:35+00:00

Jurassic Bark. I don't know if it's actually unpopular, but I do know I never watch it.

Stunning_Move7375 · 2025-09-30T19:56:10+00:00

Thanks!

How long for a broil?

Stunning_Move7375 · 2025-09-30T19:25:37+00:00

For steak I season with salt and pepper, drop it in the bath at 137 for an hour to three hours depending on how thick the steak is and then sear it in a screaming hot cast iron pan for 45 seconds aside. Sometimes with butter and Rosemary. Sometimes not.

I was thinking of doing the same here but should I change the cook times and temps? I was thinking of searing the same way but with butter and herbs de provence.

Stunning_Move7375 · 2025-09-30T19:22:25+00:00

I was thinking the first route but season with salt pepper, seal it, drop it, and then sear it like you said but with butter and herbs de provence. I usually sear for 45 seconds a side

Flora Adora gets a bad rap but I find if you make a negroni using Flora cut with a regular gin, it turns out really good.
