I've had a few bottles of Pappy Van Winkle over the years and it's expensive because they produce so little.
It is delectable though.
Other really good bourbons that I've tried are Black Maple Hill 16-Year-Old & Michter’s 10 Year

Also bought a bottle of this about 15 years ago. I definitely didn't pay the current price !
I did keep the bottle though

700 quid for that JD

By:

jucel69 When: 05 Dec 19 20:14

expensive bourbon.
The price is only about 50 dollars but it's impossible to get hold of.
Normally well over 750 quid per bottle
