I love me some Jack Dainyells, but my cabinet has Buffalo Trace in it all the time. I do splash sprite, because that is what I like. When I want a short change of scenery, I get Eagle Rare or Four Roses Single Barrel. Both are similar but different to BT.

And that is my humble opinion and likes.

The ever elusive Pappy...that is like finding a 200" buck swimming through your duck hole as mallards are raining down from the heavens.

Which is why e'rrbody carries a pistol in their blind bag right next to the toilet paper. :P :P :D :D :D

Seriously, after re-reading this thread, am I the only person who is getting real thirsty?

MAN, I could sure go for a drink right about now.

A very good friend of mine gave me a bottle of 20y Pappy 3 weeks ago.

That is a VERY, VERY good friend. You could sell that thing on ebay and buy a nice gun.

Lot of people asking these kinds of prices, and that is supposedly the black market value. However, I have not heard a certified account of a single bottle selling for close to that.
