    Your references to Pappy? I'm pretty sure you have to win a lottery for the honour to even purchase Pappy at highly inflated prices which you would then almost certainly sell off after for 5x-10x.
    Its prices are certainly inflated off the charts, but do you really think it's so fickle that it won't be worth anything near that in a decade? I personally doubt it, but I am just a guy and don't really know or care. But it seems to me like the current Ferrari FXX and it's a tough call to say that won't be worth much in a decade.
    My reference is current second market or marked-up lottery prices. Yea, there will be some bottles that will appreciate greatly but I expect them to be in the minority and a lot will either just hold or even depreciate in value (CPI adjusted). I actually predict another Whisky Loch in the next decade given the cyclical history of spirit popularity.

    Your analogy to a Ferrari FXX is as relevant to whisky as Beanie Babies would be.

    An FXX is a product that you have to be invited to buy and still pay an extreme price.
    This product is part of a market where the products initially depreciate and then some of the products begin to appreciate and then some of them appreciate back to and above their initial price.
    This market also experiences cycles of price growth, driven by the demand for luxury items.

    It's a long way from the most amazeballs reference in history, but I don't think it's completely irrelevant.

    Shit - is this the bourbon thread? I don't care. Sorry.

    Yeh I know they, they just happen to buy an entire barrel.
    Blanton's is a single barrel bourbon to begin with so unless COOP did a barrel pick, it would be a single barrel anyways. If it was a COOP pick, there would usually be a sticker that says COOP picked it.

    Knob creek single barrel is a good one. The higher proof make sure the bourbon flavor doesn't get washed out and it's very sweet if you like your old fashion sweeter.

    Knob Creek is never a bad choice for mixed drinks

    ^^ Found 89coupe's inverted Alt.

    My vote would be Buffalo Trace. Solid based for an old fashioned.

    Woodford, Maker's Mark, Buffalo Trace, Bulleit... All pretty standard choices for Old Fashioneds. A smoking kit really kicks it up a notch!

    I'd agree with all of these except for Bulleit. I find their straight bourbon and rye rather shitty for the money (though I will use them in cocktails to finish the bottles - Whiskey Sour being the best use I've found).

    I haven't tried the 10 year yet so maybe it's better but in general I'm going to avoid Bulleit in the future. Old Tub, Old Grand Dad, Heaven Hill, Four Roses, etc. are all decently affordable options that would also make a nice Old Fashioned base but Maker's is probably my fav (though also most common amongst bartenders).

    This doesn't really fit in the Scotch thread or this Bourbon thread but given that Canadian whisky is typically blends rather than malt I'll put it here.

    Exploring Canadian Whisky this month. I'll edit this post to report back what I think.

    I tried a dram of the Bear Face last night. First few sips I thought it just had that typical Canadian sweet profile but with a heavy woody/acetone note. After letting it aerate a little I started to like it a bit more and could pull out a few more nuances. I won't say I'm a huge fan but for $40 it's not bad either. I don't enjoy it as much as Lot 40 but I am looking forward to trying it again to see what other tasting notes I can draw out of it.

    Knob creek ended up being my favourite.

    Buffalo Trace was my least favourite.

    Knob Creek is what I normally drink at home. Had some Makers Mark 46 on the weekend, I was in no shape to make tasting notes or write a review, but it went down good.
