So if you have an original Pappy 20yo green glass bottle, open them up and do a comparison. It's what I intend to do when I open it.

Thanks for weighing in Randy.

I've read a few different posts on the green glass Pappy's, however there are none occupying my bunker. I also don't recall ever seeing any. If you have time, would you mind snapping a pic and showing us what some of the green glass Pappy's look like?

All other green glass, or any other one off's like what B1 included are more than welcome.

Cheers,
Pete

OK, who is going to reach out to Julian to explain?

I did I sent a PM I didn't tell him a screwball Joe was I just couldn't put that into words. Just Kidding I know what Joe meant by that post and I told Julian that.

The green glass Pappy's look just like the regular Pappy's.....except when you hold the bottles besides each other up to a light. You'll then see the slightly green tint in the bottle's glass. Can't mis it.

Julian would, on occasion, put together a batch of whiskey to be bottled and then start bottling the stuff but using different labels depending on what his market wanted. For example, he would begin bottling his VWFR Rye 13yo and then switch over to doing his ORVW 12yo Old Time Rye from the same stuff. Some markets wanted the rustic look of the squat bottle and "aged" label versus the cognac shaped bottle.

Knowing this and from looking at B1's bottles ..... I'd say there is a good chance it's all from the Michters whiskey he had.

Oh I get it now! Sarcasm.
I must be a bit paranoid with all these idiots on the net these days. Everything is cool.

Great. Glad to hear that you know there was nothing directed at you in my post. Not sarcasm actually, but more like lampooning the conspiracists among us. But, I should polish up my smilie skills.

And, hopefully the distributor was just misinformed when he told me that the Georgia allocation of the Fall Release of Pappys was very recently cancelled due to some..."misunderstanding"...

[jvanwinkle]

Yep, we'll be shipping GA in October just like everybody else.
