I have both the 23 yr and 20 year old Pappy and by far the 20 is the better of the two. 23 yr is roughly $300 a bottle. The 20 year old is roughly $100 but I have heard that the 10 year old is right on the tail in goodness as the 20 year. So let me know! The 20yr Pappy is smooth and buttery...wow its good

By the way I bought mine in Bardstown at the Kroger wine & spirit shop

Cheers
Dan
I haven't tasted either the 20 or 23, but I tried a bit of the 10 yo Rip Van Winkle last night, it was quite good.

Don't drink the name drink the liquor. I've found that George Dickel Tennessee whisky with a dash of water is what satisfies my bourbon needs on a day to day basis. Special bourbons are just that... special, so enjoy them when you find them.


If you're not pissed off you're not paying attention.

Bonanza day!! I went back over to Louisville to get some Old Overholt (as noted before, it's a cheap Rye, but quite good and surprisingly hard to find), and discovered that they'd just received their Van Winkle shipment. They had 10 YO Rip Van Winkle for a lot less than I paid for the one bottle I'd been able to find previously ($27.39 vs $36.99) so I bought the 5 bottles that store had left. Then, I decided to call the Fern Valley store and see if they had some too. They had almost 2 cases, so I bought a full case from them. I'm set for a good long time with a Bourbon that I know I like, and feel like I got a great deal on it although I'd spent over $500 on Bourbon and Rye by the time the dust settled.

They also had 15 YO for just less than $50, 20 YO for about $110, and 23 YO Pappy for just under $220 (the other two bottles I'd found before were $80 more). I'm content with the 10 YO, although I was tempted to buy one of the 15s. If I were to get a 20 or 23, I'd probably never open it. Heck, the Rip Van Winkle I bought should keep me going for more than a year.

I, too, went bourbon hunting recently, and ended up with a half-dozen bottles of good stuff. This included two bottles of Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year for a mere $90 a bottle.
