Very nice.

I have a buddy with about 12 bottles. I did him a favor recently and he asked me what I wanted. I said nothing at all. Thats what friends do. He responded with telling me that I was getting a bottle of Pappy in my stocking this year.

No doubt I have been trying to land a bottle to give to my father for about 7 or 8 years now. I just hope I can find one for him someday before it's too late.

Congratulations!

I am blessed to be awaiting the call for me to pick up a bottle of the 23 year. Got lucky in the Total Wine Grand Reserve member "online Pappy/BTAC dash".

Thanks, everyone. It is pretty hard to get at retail and the resale prices are absolutely ridiculous.
