Don't shoot me, but I've sampled some various Pappy's at events where others are lining up like crazy, and I have not liked it as much as others! We pay to go to these Whisky Events/Samplings and they are offering high end bottles north of the $1000 a bottle...
Which leads to my question - what iterations do you like of Pappy's? So I can look ahead to the next tasting list and see if I want to bother to stand in line for that one!

We all have different tastes and the first time I tried a Pappy I thought "yeah, it's that good." I think the 15 yr is the best, many people think the 20 & 23 yr old are "over oaked." George T Stagg is the best in my mind.

I don’t disagree and may go further and say old rip is the bargain bottle if you can score it. It is **** good for being the basement in the line.

I'll watch for that!

I know I do not care for peaty ones, but some of my friends love those.....
Our one friend has introduced me to some Japanese ones he brings back with him, some of those are quite tasty! These guys are always intrigued when I actually go for a 2nd tasting of anything or go buy a bottle for myself!

Julie, peat finishes are associated with Scotch, not Bourbons. Bourbon distillers do not use peat in their stills. So you should be okay with most bourbons, look at the alcohol by volume number if you prefer a stronger or weaker pour. Sorry if you already know this.
