If you can get PVW23 at retail I’d grab a bottle, it’s good, but I’m in the camp it’s not great. I’d buy it at retail to trade for what I like more. I think it’s overoaked, and there are lots of other bourbons that I’d reach for first. I’ve had a pour of the 25 and it wasn’t good.
Last time I was able to get Pappy at retail was about 5 years ago. I luckily have bunkered a lot of stuff I love that I’m now working through, last bourbon I bought was about 8 months ago via foreign auction. It’s gotten much more difficult to get auction deals now, sadly.
If I had some PVW23 still I’d mail you an ounce sample. The last time I had a bottle I used it some for manhattans...so that should tell you how much the landscape has changed over the last 10 years, ha.
