Wanna get my dad a fifth for Christmas, he usually drinks twelve year olds. Don’t know much about bourbon especially when it gets to that price.

What’s the best fifth of it for the price I’d be paying?

The enter and backspace button on the IPhone are too fricking close.

Considering you’ll be buying on the secondary market, you’re much better off getting him something else for much cheaper that he will still enjoy.

I gotcha, any suggestions? He pretty much sticks with Maker’s.

Blanton's is a good bourbon that can be had for a reasonable price.

Pappy and Mr Pibb is the GOAT.

Weller 12 is literally a baby Pappy.

Yea like Breesus said. Weller is made from the same mash bill as Pappy.

WL Weller 12 is the exact same recipe as Pappy 12 for 1/4 the 2nd hand market price.

EH Taylor collection are all pretty solid, small batch, barrel proof, etc. In all, buffalo trace doesn't mess around its bourbons.

Buy a nice decanter.

Then, get a bottle of Weller 12yr and a bottle of Weller Antique 107. Mix approx 60/40 of 107 to 12 yr in decanter.

Just tell him it’s Pappy 15......

That’s a 408 page thread...why would I read through that when I want advice on a certain brand that I already have in mind?
