Yeah stores in nyc get a small allocation, way smaller than normal I think but I’ve got friends who sell me some for only 300% markup instead of thebnormal 100000000%

Just to let you know: pappy is 50 bucks wholesale. It’s insane how much they charge for it in store
It's supply and demand, baby. They won't up production at all, and demand is just nuts.

I’ve yet to meet anyone who thinks Pappy isn’t overrated. Doesn’t mean it’s not great juice though. I’d guess most of the higher aged bourbons are probably overhyped. Just seems like 10-12 yrs is the end of the prime maturation. Of course the wheaters can go longer, but it takes a good MD and some luck

Agreed. Aging more than 12 years seems to improve Scotch more than Bourbon.

Totally agree although I’ve had some dusty Pappy from Stitzel Weller that was some of the best I’ve had. Namely a 15 year Rip Van Winkle 107 proof from 1990 I think. The newer stuff is good but over hyped.

I tried a top line Pappy at a tasting room in Nashville. I thought Pappy was a little overrated. The best I had was a 30 year old Willet. I prefer a good single malt scotch but a drinkable bourbon is more affordable than a drinkable single malt
It’s definitely overrated. It’s price is due to it being rare. Like I said, if you applied reg mark up to a 50 dollar bottle it would be like 65-70 on the shelf usually.

Good deal. The $50 wholesale is probably the 10 y/o. I was told it will retail this year this year for $79, and on up from there. I think the 23 y/o retailed last year for over $200. Which one(s) did you get?
Wow 200? My god. People here sell it for 1-3k.

I got the 10 for 80 and the 18 for 400. but It was a favor basically. Store still made a bit on them.

Just looked up 18 prices and they’re all around 2k. It’s def not worth that imho.

Same with anything henny or remy. You can get a 80 dollar bottle of single vineyard borderies cognac that’s ten times the quality of Louis xiii

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow chatterers. Have a great one and keep hopes alive that we end up with Chip Kelly and not Kip Chelly.

What I’m saying is retail here sells it for second market prices apparently. 18 year in manhattan is 1700. They don’t care how fast they sell it seeing how they buy it for 50-70 dollars whole sale
