As far as I’m concerned, this is a good pour. Well worth the $35/40 price. I just finished a bottle about a week ago and have one more unopened. I’m now on the hunt for a backup.

ER is a staple on my shelf! This was my first bourbon and it got me hooked. Since then I've had chances to try pours from friends who have bottles and also private barrel picks at hotels/restaurants. It's always been good but sometimes a particular bottle will be below average. I'm just happy that this 10 year bourbon can stay on the market, even if it's intermittent. I have WT 101 and Knob Creek 12 to supplement while searching for backup bottles. As with any spirit bourbon or otherwise, make sure you are getting it at retail or as close to retail as possible. No bourbon is so good that it should cost multiples of its own MSRP. If that were actually the case the manufacturer would already have it at that elevated price to start with. Always remember no value or improvement to the juice is being made or added to the bottle the further it strays from MSRP on the secondary. You're only lining somebody else's pockets and you're not getting any better of a product than what it started as.

If you get a good bottle I would say it is well worth the 50-60 dollar price tag. Above that it just depends how much you like it and or how scarce it is in your area. Things are only worth as much as people are willing to pay....it's purely subjective. Btw, if anyone thinks that standard Buffalo Trace is better than even the worse bottle of ER, I would suggest they try it again once they get over covid....lol!

it's riding the buffalo trace hype train. it's good but nothing special. it's a buy at around $35.00 but i see some places marked up as high as $99.99 which is crazy . i find it funny that most of the same people who hyped things like blantons, weller , pappy a few yrs back now say they're all overrated but for some reason alot of people still hype this up. Not everything from buffalo trace is great. They make some fantastic bourbon some pretty bad bourbon and alot in between that is just okay. Same thing is true for most distilleries. Russell's 10 is just as good and it's never marked up and available everywhere. Henry McKenna 10 yr is quite a bit better in my opinion if you can get it at retail.
@WhiskeyTornado

I agree on some of your points. Russell’s 10 and McKenna 10 are awesome! Eagle Rare for $100 is insane! That being said, I’ll pay $40-$50 forit all day. About 1/2 the bottles I get are fantastic and the other 1/2 are meh. It’s worth the gamble IMO. In response to Blantons I’ll say that imho it has declined in quality over the years so I’ll give some people who hyped it up in the past a pass on that. Plus as we progress in our bourbon journey our tastes change. I loved Blantons when I was new to bourbon but now I’m a high proof whore and won’t touch the stuff haha.
