Agree. He started at $3,500 for the Pappy.
The catch - this is Singapore so am not able to order via secondary.
The Pappy 20 is the one I really want. May make him an offer for all 3 and see what he says. He told me he doesn't like to hold them long and has sold 2 bottles of the Pappy 20 in the past 2 weeks. The shop is in Chinatown and would not surprise me to see wealthy Chinese come in a pay full price for something like this.

I think many people would say Fortaleza is pound for pound the best tequila on the market, and they make it the right way. However, it's one of the hardest things to find imo.


I have had the Fortaleza blanco side by side with G4 and found them to be comparable.

The 20 yr is obviously great, never had the 12yr, personally I think the Old Rip 10 sucks, one of the worst bottles I've tasted, a guy in our office brought one in for a tasting.

Anybody tried that Lazy K Bar? Saw it at Specs tonight. How much of the $100 is going towards the leather on the bottle?

That's an outlier.

I prefer OR10 to any other variety aside from the PVW23. To each their own.

Might be a bad bottle, but being a small batch bottle I'd assume it's on profile, however, all 7 of us in the office that have tried it multiple times all agreed that it sucks.

100% agree. Actually I think I'd say the 10 is my favorite. I've tasted the whole line. To each their own.

Guess you have to pay a premium since it's Rip's bourbon.

ok so while we're throwing out pappy hot takes, here's the correct order;
1. PVW15
2. VWFR13
3. ORVW10
4 PVW20
5. Lot B

I'd imagine the 23 is bitter and oaky af which I don't personally mind, but haven't tried it.

We get stuff like this for our investors. Good business, but we are picky.
The 20 year Pappy sold today for $4,500 Sing ($3,400 USD). Chinese guy came in and bought all 3 bottles.

I'll make sure and tell him he got screwed as he drives away in his Bentley. But whatever. Here is the thing - in Singapore owning a bottle of Pappy is like buying a Rolex or a Lamborghini. $h!+, the bottle of Pappy is chump change here.

$50 to me is $500 to someone else. And it's $50,000 to someone else.

"Whatever the market will bear".

And it doesn't bother me one iota.

In my fantasy dreams of Texas A&M making the CFP Championship, the ticket prices paid by Aggies is at a level unfathomable by the normal college and/or NFL football fan.

ONLY if you enjoy malt whiskey and barrel finished whiskey. I personally would not buy it because I don't enjoy malt or most finished whiskey. Only reason I would purchase would be for a trade.

It's not a single malt like westward which is 100% malted barley. Parker's 18th is 65% malted barley.

I would not expect it to resemble anything like Westward. Im my experience, having had basically all of them the Single Malt release from the major distilleries don't hold a candle to Westward or some of the other big ASM distilleries. They all have a funky undertone.

That being said I'd probably buy it just cause im a sucker for malt whiskeys.

Thoughts by anyone on Old Forester Statesman?

note: I lean more in the middle to the right on the sweet scale and less toward the bourbon heat side of the equation.

I like Stateman and it is definitely on the sweeter side. It is lower proof and not all that complex but a good pour none the less. That being said the whiskey row bottles are the same price point are going to be better. The 1910 is a toasted barrel and im personally a fan of the 1870.

Do you like OF regularly? If you aren't familiar with their offerings start with a bottle of the 100 proof.

Saw this in a liquor store on Tuesday. I love the 1910 as well as the SBBP.

The SBBP is great and while that is more popular if you see any of the 100 proof single barrels or picks don't sleep on them, they are damn good.

Had a friend get one for a gift and he told me last night it was good, but he wouldn't spend $50 on it.

It's a celebrity whiskey, the guy who plays Rip on Yellowstone I believe.

Changing the subject but I've waited until a chilly night with brothers to crack my MWND and tonight was the night. It is excellent. Thank you so much for hooking up a fellow Ag.
