Coworker is awesome!!

I come in to work today and a friend that has a bourbon and scotch collection that is amazing hands me a bag and says to me " I know you have been looking for these and I have doubles".

I open the bag and there is a bottle of Pappy 15 and a Sazerac 18.

Made my day.

If it was a she and she is hot, then I say "Bazinga!" If not, then I say "Oh, Happy Day!"

Great gifts and yes, very thoughtful.

It was co-worker day. I had a friend come back from Canada with a Lot40 for me. We looked last time there and didn't did anything. Cheers to co-workers today!

Is there any way to tell what year the Pappy 15 was bottled as I cannot find a date code on it, friend tells me its from 2009.

My understanding is that the bottles have a date code. I presume that has been the case for awhile but perhaps it only started in the last few years? Someone here will likely know.

In any case there is info out there on how to decipher the codes.

A 15yo from 2009 would in theory be at least partly S-W according to SKU's blog. I am not entirely sure that current 15yo bottles aren't just as good or even better. I am however pretty sure that neither of them are worth what is being charged on the secondary market.
