    Had a couple good ones in LA. Neither disappointed. I like the Pappy 15 more than the 23.

          I’ve never tried any of the “pappy” line up... mainly because I’ve never seen a single bottle anywhere... ever

          BUT... in my mind aging bourbon”23 years” almost twice what anyone else is even attempting to do seems/ is more a marketing ploy. If the taste profile lent it to be more worthy (at any price point) many more would offer something in the age ( I would think)

          Would love to try ( find a bar that had any) to base my own factual opinions but have just never seen it, even at places claiming to have it. I would almost predict the 15 more my taste as well with 23 over oaking the profile ( just a guess)

          .. won’t buy a bottle (unless it was just a freak steal) due to the 4-5 I know that have tried all and have a better knowledge than I said there’s better for 1/3... but that’s all individuals preference

              Picked this one up today. Anyone tried it?
              I picked up a bottle last year. Some people love it, but I didn't care for it. Got a buddy that thinks it is the best sub $50 bourbon out there. May just have been a bad bottle I got. Since it is a single barrel, there will be a little variation depending on what barrel your bottle came from.

                https://www.unionbear.com/ has Pappy, 3 different ages. I didn't buy any, too expensive. They are in Plano.

                  Can’t get site to work. I’d never buy a full bottle anyway. Don’t care how good it is, none is worth $250+ I don’t care if it’s made from unicorn urine aged in diamond crusted barrels stored on Uranus... it’s grain alcohol that you will pee out in the end. Now if it came with a service like a car wash and mow my yard and feed the dogs ok we can deal but for now it’s a collectors item... I hoard for later use not collect

                    I hear ya, and it's by the glass. It's a brewery, so they don't sell bottles.

                            Total Wine in Allen, TX. I know some grocery stores have it too, because I picked up some last Saturday at one by my house.
