I'm not a Bourbon drinker myself but am from a family and friend group who are...last week we found a place near us that had 10yr, 15yr and 20yr Pappy so some serious coin was dropped whilst everyone tried that various ones.

The consensus was the 15yr and 20yr were very different and the latter being spectacular (unfortunately for the wallets of those present!

)

I used to live in VA but never heard of the ABC lotteries. I assume like most lotteries your $60 is lost if you don't win....do you know how many bottles the VA ABC get?
