I agree that it's overrated...but in terms of mystique, it's unbelievable to me how much money it commands in the market. @ 84000 bottles are distributed yearly, yet finding it is tough...for the price, you'd think it would sit on the liquor store shelf collecting dust, yet it doesn't...hence the Holy Grail comment
To me it depends on the age...the 20 year is the best of them...

I was in Kentucky doing the Bourbon trail (been a few times) and we did tastings of the 12, 18 and 23....they were ok but for less money I'd drink the Jim Beam Distillers Select. I'd have to agree that they are over rated.

The "best one" changes from year to year based on the popular opinion. I was thinking that the consensus was the 12 lot b was the best offering this year. Also heard that the WLW was better than any of the Pappy offerings for 2019. I have not tried any of the 2019 except for the TH Handy I won in a drawing so this is all based on just reading other people's opinions.

My disappointment isn't just Pappy either. I have been pretty disappointed in quite a few of the hard to find bottles I have tried. Really has pushed me to really insist on trying something before buying it. Thankfully some of the people in my local whiskey club are well connected so I have the opportunity to try quite a few things.

Agree. I found my way into 2 bottles. Gave one to my boss with a gun (told him he could either shoot the employees or drink the Pappy but not both). I drank the other bottle with friends and found it yucky. Not my style. My friend drank it mixed with Diet Coke

It is interesting that this is happening to Bourbon - it happened to Scotch a while ago: old/'rare' and overhyped releases commanding insane prices. Some is justified, but the 'older-is-better' thing can often be disappointing, and often better tasting releases are also less expensive.

Yeah, they definitely release a lot of off the wall beers in craft breweries and a good portion of them are really good also! Pretty amazing what they can do.

Also one of my favorite bourbons. I chill a shotglass, put a large cube in it and pour some over it - almost like whiskey candy!

Closing the loop here, the trade grew a little and we traded a few bottles, plus grabbed a nice bottle at the meeting place, EH Taylor Small Batch.
