I had the Pappy 12 yo a few months back. I wanted to treat myself, but also wanted to see if it was worth all the hype. I have to say that I really enjoyed it! Very smooth and balanced. No flavor overpowered anything else. One of the best bourbons I’ve ever had.
I will say though….I was in good company, eating terrific food. So the environment may have affected how I tasted and felt about the Pappy at the time.
I found the best thing about Lot B is it’s trade value. I enjoy Rip 10 107 much more and the poor man’s pappy more as well. (have a full bottle of poor man’s pappy cooking as we speak)
The greatest marketing shenanigans in the history of whiskey! I wouldn’t mind so much if it wasn’t for the fact that the hyper marketing of Pappy products has caused previously fairly-priced and available whiskies like Weller 12 to be hard to find.
well done guys – great review!
You guys should see how much Stitzel-Weller Old Fitzgerald is going. If ever you should run into a bottle.

Also fucking 1st !!
I have 2 unopened bottles of the 2016 Van Winkle 12 year old ‘Lot B’ in my cabinet. My novice palate is not ready to experience this wonderful elixir.
