I just took the Buffalo Trace tour a couple weeks ago. The guide told us that Pappy comes from barrels treated, aged, stored exactly like one of their othèr bourbons. Pappy is just selected from among them by certain tasters. So you can get pretty much the same experience for a lot less.

I was at a party in high school where a guy drank a bunch of Southern Comfort and threw up on the hood of a car. It made the paint bubble. No way I am drinking that stuff.
