Message: [QUOTE="Northbound, post: 2653132, member: 155"] For me and I have 150 different bottles of bourbon in the house (it’s not because I’m hi-falootin it’s becaue I was drinking bourbon long before it was a thing). the sweet spot is 12-16 years. - so it’s less a price thing than an age thing for me For example the Pappy 23 is not close to as good as the 15 year. I only have one 20 year left so I haven’t had that one in a while, but I’m going to say the 15 is better than what I remember that too be. At some point they get over oaked and it consumes the other subtleties they make it great. There’s so much good stuff at reasonable prices you don’t need to hunt taters to have a good drink. I’m happy to drink WTRB, ECBP, Stagg JR or FRBS all day and fin im drinking rye give me a $22 bottle of Rittenhouse BIB. I think the AH Hirsch was pretty fantastic. My last bottle of original Hirsch 16 year was pretty great and sad all at once. It was going for $5k on the secondary a few years ago, but I buy to drink not sell and I had that bottle since 1999 or 2000 and I knew when I finished it I’d never have it again and it was damn good.
