Congrats! This year’s Pappy 20yr is excellent. Last couple years sucked. Pappy is back.

I'ld pay that.. I wouldn't pay that for William Larue Weller, George T STagg or Thomas Handy

but yes in a heartbeat for Saz 18 or Eagle Rare 17

For reference

I see the Saz 18 going for $70-800 easily on the secondary, even in spite that the last two releases are "new"

Find an older tanked Saz 18 though.. much better than the stuff actually distilled by BT

I’ve seen this year’s Saz at closer to $1,500 because of how few were produced. Which is crazy because older bottles are slow to catch up. Even pre-tank bottles were cheaper. Saz isn’t my thing, but if paying secondary rates, pre-tank is what I’d be spending my $ on.
