Pappy Van Winkle

jasonusa1 · April 2012

Yes, it is not cigars... and I know it is a long-shot, but I am interested in one/many bottles of this (preferably the 13 yr. and up) and will trade, pay, or do a combo of the two if anybody is interested. If anybody is down to do some business, or can point me to where I can get some without paying ebay prices, please let me know. Thanks.

I have more whiskey than I know what to do with. PM sent.

I think the Pappy only comes in 15, 20, and 23. The Family Reserve is 12, and the Rye is 13. You'll be hard pressed to find them this time of year though. Better chances in the late fall.

my local has 1 bottle of the 23 for 213.00

Right you are. I was lucky enough to come across one bottle of the the 12 yo a couple of weeks ago when I was in Louisville. And I'm sure it will be "easier" to find in the fall, certainly not in VA (unless of course you are already on the supposed three year wait list).

Wish I could help you but I couldn't find it anywhere near me.

I live right smack dab in the heart of Kentucky bourbon country, and there isn't any around here to be found...at least I haven't found any, & I even went to the Buffalo Trace distillery where it's made.

J, my son runs one of the largest liqour stores in Wisconsin, sent him a text to find it! Will let you know!

I got a bottle here in VA last winter. Walked into my local store, asked if they could put me on the list for Van Winkle, and the girl pulled a bottle out from under the counter, and sold it to me on the spot. Not sure about any truth to a year wait list...

Son just called back they get 4 of each in every year, Last shipment came in March gone within a day or two, going to call other store throughout the state and check. Of course i told him to hold if he gets any and will let everyone know!

Well then I'd have to say you're definitely the exception to the norm around here. I'm going to assume that they sold you a bottle that was not claimed because each ABC store in Virginia only gets in what is special ordered by a customer - that is of course if the allotment received will cover it. Just the information that I've been told. Repeatedly.

If the girl just pulled it out (.....) and sold it, it means that someone on the list decided they didn't want it. I put my name in a few places and I got my bottle, and when the other ones called me about it, i just said "no thank you"... they then pass that to the next person on the list, and if there are not enough people, then they have to sell it .

With all the new(er) guys around now I figured I would give this a bump.

jlmarta · June 2012

Rob, what's your opinion of W.L. Weller's 2005 release? I hear it's supposed to be pretty darned good stuff.....

I recently was gifted with a small bottle of Buffalo Trace myself and was amazed at just how well it paired with a cigar.... I've really been wanting to get into some great whiskey and start a "Cigar and Whiskey Pairing" thread when I eventually get the chance. Booker's is really high up on my list and I can find it for a little over $60 but I won't be able to pick it up for a few more months. What others would y'all suggest that is under $100?
