Its aged 13 years, so it is a great whiskey, but still not too old were the price gets astronomical.
I'm with you and would add Eagle Rare are all great reasonably priced bourbons. I would add for mixing I keep a regular bottle of Evan Williams around. Best Bourbon and Coke I know of. Even better than using the Single Barrel partly because the EWSB & Coke gets to sweet and the nuances are lost anyway. Save the 6-7 bucks and mix the regular. We used take EW in a flask and mix it with & Coke at Hockey games. ahh I need season tickets again. I digress.
