Pappy Van Winkle, worlds most sought after bourbon
I've never lucked into a bottle at list, my local spirit emporium has it in stock year round for $1500-4000 depending on age statement, etc. The mash bill includes wheat which does give it a smoother finish. Anyone else catch the comment "Its like the difference between a hood ornament and a race horse" as an unconscious slight against Blanton's?

Re: Pappy Van Winkle, worlds most sought after bourbon
Picked up a bottle @ retail at a small store in rural MN. Good bourbon. I would get another one, but not for crazy money.

Re: Pappy Van Winkle, worlds most sought after bourbon
I’ve had the 23 yr a few times - it’s very very rich tasting. Nothing remotely like it.
Also paid $30 for the 10 or 15 year at a local bar and it wasn’t anywhere worth the $.Brinkmann Bardo w/ EMT HSD-006 cart, MSB Reference DAC --> Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL --> Ampzilla 2000, 2nd Edition --> Fyne Audio F1-12
