Bought my first bottle of Pappy years ago for $80. Next year it went up to $100, then $120. MSRP is $120. Good luck finding for anywhere near that. I saw a bottle being sold on the internet for $300.

I have a bottle of 27 year old Pappy just waiting....

Hmmm, you need to find a better class of aficionados to be associated with.

About 20 years ago, somebody was trying to sell a 6-pack of Billy Beer for $1200. Beer collectors came out of the woodwork to put 6-packs up for sale at something like $6 to help more reflect it's real value.

I take it nobody is stepping up to help lower the price?

Our office bottle of Pappy is long gone and we have had no luck getting any at any price. The good news is that J. W. Weller and Weller 12 year come out of the same mash bill. Of course the selected barrels go on to become Pappy, but Weller is mighty fine and a fraction of the cost. It has become our No. 1 choice for after hours sipping.

Everyone needs a whiskey family tree. Here it is:

I have about 20% left in my bottle of Pappy and 50% of Rip. Won’t drink a sip until I have new ones.

Thankfully, I’ve really taken to Angels Envy and Hirsch. I have another 17 bottles of different varieties (including unopened bottles of Makers 46, Eagle Rare and Four Roses) with only one (Woodford) being at or less than 10% remaining. I think I’ll weather the coming apocalypse pretty well ...
