25 year Pappy Van Winkle Release

Have 12 already in my backyard

Nobody in their right mind would drink it. It's like wine, you pay for the rarity not the taste. I doubt it tastes any different than 12 year pappy, but if you can sell it for 15k 10 years from now, by all means.

The pappy brand is terribly overrated. Don't get me wrong. It's a good bourbon. But you can definitely get better quality stuff for a fraction of a bottle cost.

Owned by Louisiana Company. Another Bill Goldring brand to the hundreds of others he owns.

I'd buy it all day at retail. Would I open it? Nah. While wheated bourbons (like Van Winkle) take the age better than most, it is very rare that I enjoy a bourbon aged for 20+ years.

I was disappointed when I read it was distilled in the same place as some other brands.

Yeah man, buffalo trace, just like every other bottle of Pappy. Why would this be a disappointment? The location of the distillation makes no difference.

Eta: I stand corrected. This was distilled before they moved to buffalo trace. Either way, it's the mash bill and the aging that makes it unique, not the distillation process.

Bourbon is what real gentlemen drink. Scotch is for new money and poors.

I'm pretty sure this still isn't Stitzel-Weller juice, but I can't find anything that says for sure.

if i were to spend $1800 on a bottle in would be Armagnac
