I've had some Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace, both from Buffalo Trace Distillery over the past couple of weeks.

The Buffalo Trace is inexpensive, around $20.00. Not bad but nothing special, not much flavor, a little bit of a bite, weak nose.

The Eagle Rare 10 year is much better and doesn't cost much more. It's relatively hard to come by, as is the Buffalo Trace. My store gets a few bottles of these every three or four months or so. The Eagle Rare, has a bit more body than the Buffalo Trace, not as much of a bite, nicer nose.

For a few bucks more, I'd recommend the Eagle Rare 10 year.
