Pappy 23, "Spirit Of The Year"

[ErichPryde]

Jeez fellas you guys really seem to have a hate thing going with the 20 and 23.

Not a hate thing! I actually REALLY like the 23. In fact, I think it's a much, much better bourbon than Pappy 20. It reminds me of serious wind ripping through the trees before a thunderstorm, the brief roll of thunder and a distant flash of lightning giving you a momentary glimpse of gigantic and ancient trees.

I actually have an ORVW 23 in the closet for a special day, So I'm not hatin' on the 23 year olds.

The amen! thing was a obscure and misquoted music reference, anyway. :skep:

I am glad that I have had 3 different bottles of the PVW 23. I see it as a privelage to taste something with the lineage and craftsmanship that goes into it.

Naming it "spirit of the year", at least to me, seems easy. Was it picked because it was that good? Or was it due to its lofty price and reputation.

Someone will see the award and expect it to be the best spirit ever purchased. For that price, of course it is. To say anything else would put into question why it was bought in the first place.

Hope I got my point across. It sounded better in my mnd..lol.
