But according to my buyer at K&L, Harlan from BT came to the LA store and did confirm that this release (apparently a small amount of spring release was too) will be a blend of SW and BT juice for the 15 year. The 20 and 23 should have 2 more years of juice left, but the 15 is going to be slowly reworked until there's no more SW left in it.
We'll see what they do from a branding perspective though.
I try and post items in the Industry News forum. With all the speculation about the provenance of Pappy 15 earlier this year, I sent Julian a pm asking him about the Pappy 15. This was his reply. Cheers! Joe
Joe, if your question is, "Is the 15 year out now Stitzel-Weller whiskey"? Yes it is this year. Not sure about next year yet.
Nice work Joe. Can we post that reply somewhere? If I had a nickle for every time this question is asked I could buy a bottle!Quote:

Possibly even on eBay.Quote:

He's not sure? I guess he could be saving it for Pappy 20 and higher profit margins.
I was talking to a clerk at a local store, and he mentioned that last year's allocation of premium bourbons, including Pappy and GTS was hijacked, which I knew about, and that hijackers also got three trailer loads of Dr. Pepper.
I shudder to think these hijackers may be drinking Pappy and Dr. Pepper cocktails.
I hope this year's allocation makes it through...
Really? It's come to this, hijacking high end bourbon deliveries?Quote:
