I know most people here will disagree with me, but I just don't get the pappy hype. I've tried both the 15 and the 20, and found myself disappointed in both. Maybe my expectations were too high. I think I just prefer rye bourbons to wheat bourbons.

Opened my first bottle of Rowan's creek. It was interesting. There was a spice that kinda threw me off. It got better with the second glass. The jury is still out.

The actual Pappy taste tends to fall a bit short of expectations, but it's still very good bourbon....too bad it's just jumped the shark in the last year or so...

The 12-year Van Winkle rye is worth a shot, and I've found it in no fewer than 5 places over the last month...

ETA: It is still BY FAR the best bourbon on the planet, I'm just saying some people blow it up to be even better than it is...

Bars are charging upwards of $75 for an ounce of 23...no way I could imagine paying for that...
