Will only become more impossible to get with the crazy popularity it's gained.  I was LUCKY to get one bottle of the 23 YO this year from my local dealer.  They're the largest liquor store in the area and their entire allocation was 1 of the 23 year old and 1 of the 20.  I think they also got a couple of the 15 and 12. 

 

I'm assuming the situation is the same everywhere else? 

 

 

It is tough to get everywhere Robert!  You know that!

I just started reading about this from this post. Pretty crazy about the big theft they had this year. Ill snoop around some spots by me and see if there are any in the cages.

Good luck Mark.  Let us know if you find any and how much they are gouging it for!

I did say look, lol. According to that article $750 a pop around here. Way too rich for my pockets. One day when I hit that jackpot!

Standard pricing here was

 

10 $45

12 $60

13 $80

15 $130

20 $150

23 $275

 

If I remember correctly off the top of my head........

Have you indulged Jeff? If so thoughts?

I have had most. The 20yr is the best bang for your buck imo. The 23 is something special but the price reflects that. Will expand on these thoughts later when not on my phone. RLR has had all of them except the 13 I believe, so he is a good one to ask as well.

Jeff

Correct Jeff, I've had all except the 13 Year Rye. May be some day. 

 

Quite honestly they are all amazing.  It's the only bourbon I will drink.   I'm a huge fan of great tequila, but this bourbon is quite special. 

 

The 20 Year is absolutely amazing.  I like mine in a rocks glass with whiskey stones.  Drinking this over ice is just wrong.  Dilutes it a bit too much for my taste. 

 

The only thing I can compare the 23 Year to is a fine cognac, like Louis XIII.  It's that good. 

 

There are a few restaurants that carry it locally.  I'm sure you can find it somewhere local as well.  If you can, try it.  I guarantee you won't be disappointed. 

I'd like a glass of Pappy.. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to get my paws on one.
