Agree. I found my way into 2 bottles. Gave one to my boss with a gun (told him he could either shoot the employees or drink the Pappy but not both). I drank the other bottle with friends and found it yucky. Not my style. My friend drank it mixed with Diet Coke

It is interesting that this is happening to Bourbon - it happened to Scotch a while ago: old/'rare' and overhyped releases commanding insane prices. Some is justified, but the 'older-is-better' thing can often be disappointing, and often better tasting releases are also less expensive.

It can happen with cars, watches and so on. Women not so much

Yeah, they definitely release a lot of off the wall beers in craft breweries and a good portion of them are really good also! Pretty amazing what they can do.

Surprisingly smooth nose and finish for 116 proof. Definitely taste that peppery wood. I like it!

Maynard · 05-15-2020, 02:20 PM

Also one of my favorite bourbons. I chill a shotglass, put a large cube in it and pour some over it - almost like whiskey candy!

Closing the loop here, the trade grew a little and we traded a few bottles, plus grabbed a nice bottle at the meeting place, EH Taylor Small Batch.
Cheers!
