Eagle Rare has been distilled and bottled by Buffalo Trace for a long, long time. It is hard to find in a lot of markets - around the Charlotte, NC area it would sell out the same day they put it on the shelves. Up here in MI, it's a bit more commonplace, but still sells out within a few days of hitting the shelves.
I love it, some people don't. Some people don't love Blanton's, some do. Much like with most/any whisk(e)y, I'd bet.
