    Great video guys! As always 🔥this one I paid particular attention to as Ive had a great bit of fortune last week and got a call to say I’d won a charity lottery for the full Pappy Van Winkle family collection all signed by Julian Van Winkle 3rd and that I need to drove to Kentucky to collect as it’s a risk to ship then all 😂. I think it’s the best $100 I’ll ever spend and had a great weekend touring the distillery’s 😁 looking forward to enjoying them over the years!

We cracked it open and everyone thought it was good. However, I would not pay much more than retail for another bottle. 🥃

The guy in front of me got the Pappy 15 for $129. I am not a rye guy, so I picked Van Winkle 12 Year Lot B, and the guy behind me got the 13 Year Rye. First time I saw it on the shelf without a lottery. At the same store, I got an EH Taylor Barrell Proof last Friday for $79.99.

    I wouldn’t pay secondary on it. I was also fortunate enough to get a Old Forester Birthday Bourbon that same year, and that’s been the best bourbon I’ve tried to date. It was barreled 2003 and Bottled in 2015 (was the previous years)

    I am enjoying learning more about bourbons with you. I get that it is your wheelhouse and I hope one day to have exposure to even 20% of what's available to you, but it's unlikely where I live. I wish you would also step out of your comfort zone and try out some Irish Whisky, Canadian Whisky and even some Scotch but know that a foray into Scotch can get real pricey real quick.
    I'm hoping for this because I like your opinions, but my liquor store offers 23 American whiskies right now. Like it has for the last year. Same ones.
    And I'm a $50 toll ride away from any liquor store that might give me more variety. Ya. It's a real bummer and a real obstacle trying to get some out of the normal drams.
    I loved you guys enjoying the Alberta Premium Cask Strength and hope you hunt down the (hopefully) up and coming 2024 version. I've recently stocked up on the last of the 2023 remaining in our province. Within reason, I'm not a hoarder and left some for the equally smitten.

  • @inkynate9372
    @inkynate9372 Год назад +5

    According to blending lore, the "Poor Man`s Pappy" recipe was never intended to be a Pappy/Van Winkle clone. It was created to mimic the Weller Centennial blend.
    There is however a less well-known Poor Man's Lot B recipe that consists of 50% Weller Special Reserve and 50% Eagle Rare (must be from a fruit forward bottle). Ideally you would mix the blend well in advance and let it "marry" in the bottle for a few weeks before tasting.

    • @Kenny31190
      @Kenny31190 Год назад +1

      Thanks for sharing the Poor Mans Lot B blend. I personally enjoy playing bourbon mixologist. I have not heard of the Poor Mans Lot B before I will have to try it. The blend I have tried is WSR, OWA, and Larceny at 40/40/20. It is very nice. However I'm interested to see what the Eagle Rare would do in place of the WSR or Larceny.

    • @davidjohnson8930
      @davidjohnson8930 Год назад +1

      I've never heard that about the centennial blend. It's always been known to mimic van winkle 12 or some say 15 which is a major stretch. As far as eagle rare that doesn't make sense given it has rye in the mashbill. You might be thinking of the poor mans four grain which is OGD 114 and WSR at 2:1. Some add Eagle Rare to that blend as an alternative. But no poor mans pappy has eagle rare and WSR in the recipe.

    Stitzel Weller closed in 1992. It only had so much in barrels at the time. A good portion of what is sold as Pappy today is not the same juice and that is all over priced. The msrp is fine for the 12 but just know that you are not drinking the original. Even at 25 years (which would be the youngest spirit in the bottle) it would be after the last time the stills ran. I have had the chance to try a few of the labels from Van Winkle over the years and the 15 was best to me.

    Absolutely not worth the hunt. I will take Makers Cask Strength over the Pappy's any day!

    No Pappy Van Winkle is worth the price! I've tasted better bourbon for 1/10th of the price!

      Emptying a 10 since last xmas. sampled the 12 last week, the 15 a month ago. The 10 was my best and favorite til I tried the 15. I like the 10 better than Lot B.
