OT For all you bourbon drinkers

Just saw this on another forum. Maybe 24 more of you can get a bottle of PVW this year now.

I'll try my damnedest to get one but it's a pretty tall order.

Damn I wish!!  My Buddy in Louisville got a bottle, legally. Had one shot of Pappy. It really is exceptional!

Would love to have a bottle. For now, my go-to is Eagle Rare. I didn't think I'd find anything (affordable) that was better than Blanton's, but Eagle Rare is just that IMO.

I love Eagle Rare, but only as a change of pace.  It is wonderful, but it almost tastes like a different whisky to me.  I think rye tastes more like bourbon than Eagle Rare does.  I love it -- but it has a different taste to me.  I love it once in a while, but Bulleit is my "normal" bourbon, these days.  I've tasted a few other bourbons that seem "fancier" than Bulleit, but I keep coming back to Bulleit for my "regular" bourbon.  I've never tasted Pappy's or Blanton's (I'm not sure I can get either of them where I live).  Do you like Blanton's better than Bulleit?

I have recently become a huge fan of Basil Hayden. Hits all the high numbers in things I like in Bourbon.

Thanks for posting....I was just wondering the other day if they ever caught the crew that stole the Pappy.

My favorites right now are Larceny and Old Weller for wheated bourbons and Elmer T Lee for a more traditional bourbon.

+1 on the Basil Hayden
