The infamous Pappy. After years of waiting, it finally made an appearance. 15 years old from sometime around 2015, putting the total age around 21 years.
Straight out of the bottle, it’s a gas of furious alcohol fumes and fire. After a 20 minute rest it really turned up.
Top senses:
bright corn, madagascar vanilla, american oak
it’s an oakfest. a festival of oak
Is it worth the hype?
If you can find a bottle at MSRP, 100%.
I’ve seen bottles on the secondary market range from 1,200 to 3,000. To me, that’s a little rich. It’s great bourbon. If you 3 grand burning a hole in your pocket, hell I say why not. If you don’t, I wouldn’t go saving up for a bottle.
