All things in their time. <br />regarding earlier comments:<br />I've had the newer Dickel B.I.B., and I will buy it again if I see it on the shelf. On the other hand, I'll try once any bottled-in-bond from outside KY for novelty value alone. On the grasping hand, I'll not put good money after bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-24397884936814761702020-11-14T11:52:49.978-06:002020-11-14T11:52:49.978-06:00I'm against reselling whiskey for profit on pr...I'm against reselling whiskey for profit on principle, but I must admit if I could go back in time, I would sell my bottle of Pappy 20 (bought at MSRP in 2014) in a heartbeat. Nose? Amazing. Palate and finish? Bitter oak. I would give maybe $30 for it based on a blind tasting based on the nose. Not knowing it was Pappy, I might have used it in cocktails. OTOH, I think the 10 and 15 are amazing.

I'm still buying the first version, but given how good that is I will have no hesitation buying the 11 year old product.

I agree that some of the olds aren't that great - my bottle of Elijah Craig 18-year-old was not fabulous, especially for the price.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08528126244776637869noreply@blogger.com
