Pappy 12 aka Van winkle special reserve lot b 12 year old used to sit on the shelves. I passed on it many times at total wine but never regretted it. The 12 is ok but not great. I actually prefer the 10 at 107 proof (though it used to come in 90 proof). $350 is pricey, secondary market pricey. Not really worth it. I'm drinking a lot of Okd Weller Antique 107. At $25 a bottle it's the best value out there.
