Tangentially related...
Years and years ago, I bought a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle. Was 15 years old at the time. It was to celebrate the sale of a business. My biz partner never came back to my state for the closing, so it remained unopened.
Checked on the value at the end of last year.
Today worth over $10k.
Can’t bring myself to open it. And as an investment, can’t bring myself to sell it, since they can’t make more of that vintage. It keeps becoming more rare.
Don’t uncorked the Pappy. Buy a bottle of W. L. Weller. A great wheated bourbon with the same grain bill as Pappy and by the same distiller.
