Those are getting almost impossible to find. I would highly encourage you to go back and grab a couple more bottles to bunker away or else you'll be kicking or punching yourself later for not doing that.

I went hunting last Fall for PVW20 and found 5 bottles near me in Maryland. They all ran about $85 each which at the time I thought was a little pricey. Guess I was lucky to pay that. I also found Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye (another great whiskey) for $55 each. Needless to say, 4 of those bottles came home also.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084821666852687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-36275365529716467412011-08-23T23:31:29.045-04:002011-08-23T23:31:29.045-04:00Insanity has hit the Chicago area.

They also had the 23, but for $224, which is very competitve around here. All the other bourbons were priced in line with other liquor stores, it was just the Pappy 20 that was nuts.Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-55288479584961627282011-08-18T00:28:22.666-04:002011-08-18T00:28:22.666-04:00There was a spring release of 15 and 20 at least i...There was a spring release of 15 and 20 at least in MD and DE.
