Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.
If any of you bourbon aficionados are ever in Phoenix, go to Bourbon & Bones restaurant in Scottsdale. 400+ bourbons and whiskeys. Tasted my first Pappy Van Winkle while down there for a golf trip a couple months ago. They had 3 Pappys, one for $200/glass, one for $300, and one for $400. I had the $200, and it's worth the hype. Best I ever tasted. Can't even imagine what the $400 glass tasted like. [Reply]

I bring a couple of bottles of this back at least twice a year from Japan. Since I am traveling for work, it kinda works out. Love the stuff, much more than their 18 yr Hibiki. Only have a half bottle left currently... [Reply]

Its good but not 200.00 a glass good. I tried the Pappy's 20 yo at a project completion celebration. I expected to be floored knock your socks off good but it didn't deliver for me. I wouldn't turn it away but I haven't craved a bottle either. We all nose and taste differently though. [Reply]

Very citrus on the nose. Citrus and light floral taste. Decent. Something different. Would drink again.
Had some here in Charleston for the Bacon and Bourbon event back in February. Delicious
Side note: picked up my dogs ashes Thursday. So, I had a glass of Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve in celebration of her life. Stuff is delicious and smooth [Reply]
For all you posters in KC I've just discovered Lukas Liquors and holy shit not only is it huge but they easily have the best prices in KC. I got Makers 46 with 2 glasses for 27 bucks. That stuff is going for $40 at Royal liquors. [Reply]
