chappy6107 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 also it looks like the foil is shorter on the 20 yr bottle. supposed to be like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It could have been done on purpose........... Nothing like a little free publicity, people going crazy trying to find a red label 15y Pappy to put in the bunker..... Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sazerac and the Van Winkles definitely are in need of some help to pump up the popularity of their struggling brand to make it something people will want to seek out by using an "inverted Jenny" scheme... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 As has been said, my understanding is that all the Pappy 15 has red foil. I kind of like it! It would be cool if they changed the color every year as an easy way to differentiate vintages. Black is pre '16 and earlier, Red is '17, Blue is '18 etc . . .

So what is wrong with this picture? Hmm... If the link to the snafu with the foil is accurate then I guess nothing is awry here. It's interesting that the juice in the red foiled bottle seems a little darker than that in the black foiled bottle though...might just be the lighting...then again maybe not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTen Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Hi all, I posted about the Fun Unicorn tasting of Pappy/BTACs held last Saturday at Julio's Liquors in Massachusetts over in the General Bourbon Discussion Forum under "What Bourbon Did You Purchase (Fall 2017)?" thread, in case anybody is interested. I included a picture of the bottles and some personal notes on the tasting. FWIW, PVW15, WLW and GTS were my personal favorites. Enjoy!

DCFan Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Just got an email from the ABC that the Pappy's will be going in the lottery during December and January. The first offering will be the 4 bottle Van Winkle collection: PVW23, PVW15, VWReserve12, ORVW10 for the princely sum of $999.99. Registration is 12/6-10. I'm so there.

Exception being a store I visit received Pappy 20 instead of Pappy 23. Sorry, but I can't remember the exact price on it. Maybe $169.99 or $189.99? Sláinte!

Yep and they don't even come in a fancy box like the Orphan Barrel Archive or ORVW25 did. Kind of disheartening that a state monopoly is now (for the first time in VA??) cashing in on secondary market pricing instead of MSRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also could have been off on the Pappy 20 price. I have CRS disease. I'd say that over all, this place had their Pappy/BTAC stuff priced around $10.00 a bottle over MSRP, which really ain't too bad considering. Biba!

Butch_Coolidge Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Great series, and they drink nothing but whiskey. Someone bought a bottle of Pappy for the Deputy Marshal as a birthday present, and referred to it as a $200.00 bottle of whiskey...lol. Rayland Givens who is the lead character was a Jim Beam man. And everyone made and drank Shine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was this show that got me started on the bourbon journey that I’m currently on. I was thoroughly intrigued with PVW and all the other high end bourbons on the series. I jumped in and I’m loving it but I’ve yet to snag a Pappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
