Thanks guys, I always enjoy you fellers. On the PVW15, I actually had a serious health scare a year ago and because of that I paid secondary for this. At the time I didn’t know if I’d be here or able to drink this year thus the extravagant choice. Two good things to report; 1 the scare turned out to be manageable and 2 the Pappy is just amazing. The only problem is now I’m going to be around for many more years and need a backup bottle (half left). 😜

I am glad you were able to get one, ESPECIALLY at retail. That being said, every time I see a Pap review, I always wish they were on the blind. "Here is a bourbon, what are your thoughts" especially if they are lined up with other BT offerings on the same mash bill from $40-$160. Its human nature, the anticipation and emotions will bleed into it and make it subjective. But at the same time, perhaps that is part of the "total package".
@wizzer88 Жыл бұрын
My neighbor gave me a pour of this, and I will say this is the best pour I've had in my short bourbon experience. It's well balanced, and Trenton nailed it with the oak at the end. That transition to the oak was amazing. That being said, I can't find this bottle less than $3500 here in SoCal. The hype is real on this bottle.

Just seeing this episode... and it made me remember that I got a bottle (the 15 year Family Reserve) for a Christmas gift back in 2008 or 2010! It has been in a box, in my storage unit (part of a much longer story) since then. Unfortunately, I now realize that there was an imperfection in the bottle top, and I have lost a bit to evaporation... I was saving it for a special occasion. The product lost is about equal to the two tasting pours that you did for your bottle. The lesson learned here is this... don't wait for a special event, make the event special by opening the bottle!

I thought he would sell it, really, but to my surprise, he still has it, and pulls it out every time I come over cause he knows I love it. That's a good friend.

Owner was nice and said he was happy to make a nice profit and I was happy that I could buy one albeit above MSRP, but not outrageous. Nice video!

Around 2008 I worked in a big booze store in Indianapolis. Back then, no alcohol sales on Sunday. One Sunday, the boss took the staff to KY. We had a private tour and tasting at Buffalo Trace. We chose two barrels from the tasting for bottling for our store, which was great. We visited another distillery, whose name I can't recall, where we entered an ancient barrelhouse. We tasted a 40 year barrel straight up, right there, dust in the air, sun streaming through the window. It was like we were in a bourbon commercial. (The uncut whisky was concentrated from Angel's Share and too dirty to rate.) During an employee tasting back at the store one day, we tasted Pappy. I don't remember the age. This was before the fire and price jump, but it was expensive. I didn't like it. Thought it was way too hot, with the added taste of fire and nothing else.

They also have Eagle Rare 17 for $225, George T Stagg - Uncut Unfiltered for $225, Sazerac 18 year old Kentucky and Thomas H Handy Straight both at $225 as well as Van Winkle 12 @ $200 and William Larue Weller - Uncut @ $225.

It's always nice to live and learn vicariously through your experiences. However, if you know the whiskeytuber (Scotch) Ralfy, his rule of thumb is "A minute in the glass for every year in the cask." It took you guys less than 30 seconds to put your noses in. I'd be interested in your experience if you actually let it sit for the 15 minutes. Also, I'd be very interested having it in a blind tasting. There is so much research that shows when people think they're drinking something super special it substantially affects their perception and experience. As you guys well know, you've been surprised on many occasions when a favorite didn't quite stack up in a blind tasting. Anyway, keep up the good "work."
@slbdrinks Жыл бұрын
Yes I try to watch Ralfy as much as I can. Trent loves to open nice bottles on camera but that does eliminate the chance for the whiskey to sit in the glass. To be honest I think I prefer the 10 yr over the 15 but would need to do a side by side.

@@mattbarker1411 I said "interesting", not "good". The 23 was abnormally chewy, and the finish was one of the longest I've ever had. It is worth the shelf price, but nothing more.

I got to try Pappy 15 at a bar for a very very reasonable price and i got a really nice old leather note, with a bit of like cigar tabacco flavor, with great oak spice, a really nice brown sugar, caramel and great subtle vanilla its one of the best Bourbons ive tried for sure atleast top 10. I would love to have a bottle at some point

Trenton- keep doing the stuff that pushes the bar- bc you all do things professionally - you can continue to push the boundaries- even just a 1/2 ounce pour with 1 ounce coke would have been awesome

$159???? There is a bottle of the 10 year down the road for me right now for $1200 and the store doesn't even want to sell it. That is an amazing price.
@NotJRB Жыл бұрын
Even at $159, I bet whoever sold it still made good money. At $1,200 someone's trying to make a payment for some pricey toy of their own.

I can remember when most all of these allocated bottles were on the shelf. I regularly had Old Rip, Blantons, Eagle Rare, EH Taylor with no trouble. Do you think the days of sanity will ever return or is this whisky economy now permanent? I suspect so many people are benefiting that it will never go back to the way it once was. I used to hold out hope that the bourbon fad would run it's course and the regular bourbon consumer could once again have access to the good juice.

The only way around a supply & demand problem is to up the production, and from what I have seen, most producers are content with the size of their operations and don't see the need to put large amounts of money into expansion. The big exception is Buffalo Trace, which has made it clear they're putting a huge amount of money into expanding to help meet the demand. But the result of that is years away. What I would at least love to see happen is for the allocation system to be fine tuned. It doesn't make sense to me why we in California have the regular Buffalo Trace everywhere just sitting around collecting dust on shelves for $20-25 but we can't get any Early Times Bottled in Bond, and it's the reverse in other states. Lousy for both consumers and producers leaving things that way, as one example.

In my area if you can find a bottle they are well over $600/bottle. Quick search and some bottles posted for $4k! No way and it's a shame it's been over hyped to this point. MSRP seems worth it, secondary price not at all. Great review guys!

MSRP is def worth it, I am the same and would never pay a secondary price and in all facets of life I think that upselling is bad. $160 or so though for this is something that if I had the money and drank half the bottle celebrating for the holidays or whatever with family/friends then I wouldn’t be too upset because it’s something great.

Blind Calumet 15 and 16 to this. After I tried this at a bar I went back to my collection and these were the closest I had to Pappy 15. Actually when your bottle is empty just pour some of that Calumet 16 in and pour it to guests who never had either bottle and they would still be wowed. 😂
