Now you need to get a bottle of the Sazerac 6 year - my favorite sipper, by a slim margin over Bulleit. It is $2-3 more than the Wild Turkey product, but a little hard to find here in NC as it is not a regular stock item. I'll take this opportunity to reaffirm my recommendation that you try the Bab...

Re: Here's why rye....

1. Old Turkey Straight Rye at about $23, 2. Jim Beam Rye at about $12, and... 3. Old Overholt at $12 (you read that right). Of these two garnered very favorable reviews from Dave Broom and friends over at Whisky Magazine. One was indentified as an excellent entry rye for beginners and one an in-you...

A couple weeks ago, I found a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 20yo while visiting Michigan. It now sits on my shelf next to the PVW15. I've yet to open it, but will when the right occasion strikes. ******* Capn's Log : You gotta be kiddin! Just finding and buying one - the highest rated spirit in the wor...

This will be my first attempt at tasting notes. This past week has seen me open my bottles of ED 5, 12, and 15. I've read various reviews around the web when I first starting looking for (and eventually purchased) these bottles, though that was back in December of last year. I just finished up my fi...

The only Van Winkle expression I've had is the 15yr, which is, as you said, amazing. If I could ever find a bottle of the 20yr, I'd most likely buy it. However, I doubt I'll ever get a bottle of the 23yr. At $215 around here, I'd rather have 3 bottles of the 15.

Just a small note, the PVW23 didn't receive a 99 from BTI. However, the PVW20 did. I'm almost positive this was just an oversight though, as you reference the 20yr in other posts. ******* Capn's Log : Thanks, entirely right and yes, it was a typo (now corrected). We have the 20yo, which did score &q...
