Thumbs up Pappy Van Winkle

I broke down yesterday and bought a Pappy Van Winkle 20 yr. This truly is the best Bourbon Whiskey I have had

Indeed. I first met it in Las Vegas 2 years ago and have become addicted to it. Lovely stuff especially in the company of a Sancho Panza Belicoso.

I'm not surprised to hear this positive feedback - I've had the 10 year/107 proof and really like it (especially at it's price point). I have now purchased a bottle of the 15 Year Old and the Family Reserve 13 Year Old Rye Whiskey that I will be trying shortly (likely this weekend!). Looks like I'm going to have to work my way up to the 20 year old as well very soon!

Never heard of the stuff. What did it cost you?

How would you compare it to Blanton's (which I've started to really enjoy the last few months). I know PVW is about twice the price, but I am interested in your thoughts/comments since I have never tried the PVW.
