A friend’s father-in-law is retiring and looking for a bottle. He knows it won’t be cheap. PM me if you are interested in selling a bottle of either. Thanks.
FWIW I think the 10 is a bit hot. I’d go with the Lot B 12 which is my favorite and not much more than the 10. It’s a big step up
I agree with David. Pappy 10 isn’t worth $50 IMO.
Piling on, I agree that the difference between 10 and 12 is vast, possibly as large as the difference between 12 and 15.
That said, it’s well worth the price of its standard retail mark up, which isn’t much more than $50!
Just find a W12 and pay 25% the cost unless looking at a Lot B (Pappy 12 year) label makes you excited. W12 is the same exact juice other than LotB being the honey barrels.
I’d do that too if I could find Weller 12. I’d buy a case but I’ve never seen one in Seattle ever. Got a 107 recently but it set be back a bit (can’t remember exactly-I think around $65?).
Message sent…
Thanks, I actually like the 10 but it isn’t for me. I have a lot of the W12 as I have been buying for years, but this guy wants Pappy/ORVW for his retirement party.
