Hello from Colorado

That's all good stuff, but I'd urge you to try the Pappy 15 if you decide to take the plunge. The same goes for pretty much anything from the BTAC. I'm still developing that educated palate, I hope, but I think those are clearly a step above and well worth the additional cost.

I nearly did take the plunge this weekend. I stopped by Davidson's after a game of frolf to look for some Ritt BIB and for the first time saw the BTAC, and the Van Winkle family. I was tempted to pick one up, but I don't think I would appreciate it as much as I should. I will wait a little while and let my palette develop a little more...

I just wanted the Coloradoans to know that we broke into a bottle of Stranahan's tonight and I was quite impressed. It has a fruity/spicy initial spike and doesn't linger as long as other whiskeys. However, I really like it!

Must be a newer bottle than mine or maybe they are aging them a bit longer as time goes on. There is no fruit or spice in mine at all, and the raw young whiskey taste stuck to my palate like a famished leech. It might be better now but is still too expensive for what it is. Still, good luck to Mr Stranahan in his endeavor.

remember, I have a noob palate, so take my opinions w/ a grain of salt. That being said, I would have happily continued to drink it if it weren't taken from me.....
