When and Why has Pappy Van Winkle developed this crazy cult following. I mean don't get me wrong, the stuff is good, but there are just as many fine bourbons out there. 3 years ago, I could get the stuff on the shelf. Now i'm on a 300 person waiting list and the stores that DO have it price gouge. I'll just need to find a new favorite I guess.

This past month has been a good one to me:  I'm holding on to the Van Winkle stuff for my wedding, which is in April.

spankmeister posted:Excellent, and congrats. Thanks. As an aside, this will most likely be the last year I try to actively pursue trying to find the Van Winkle stuff. While it is amazing stuff, the recent press has made it almost a) impossible to find or b) prohibitably expensive. There are plenty of great wheaters out there like any of the Wellers. I am hoping that in a few years, when the hype dies down, I will be able to once again grab a bottle of pappy off the shelf at at a reasonable price. This past week I saw a bottle of 15 yr PVW on the shelf of a local liquor store for $300. Next to it were two bottles of Stagg and one of William Larue Weller at the normal price of $70 a bottle. Just shows you the effect of the hype. Mega Boris fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Dec 11, 2012 |
