The 20 and 23-year-old Pappy's really just come down to having to age it so long. 20 years ago, whiskey is what hard men and alcoholic bar maidens drank and were pretty much looked down on as the "fabulous people" drank their martinis, margaritas etc. Then the bourbon craze hit and all of a sudden everyone wanted bourbon, everyone was an expert, and Buffalo Trace's marketing team made people think Pappy was the best thing since sliced bread, only they can't produce more, because even if they ramp up production, it has to sit in a barrel for 12-23 years. The BT sold the Blanton's brand to Japan, and most of that is going overseas. But any brand that is 4-7 years old ought to be readily available now, especially since the craze is reportedly stalling. I'll personally be glad when they move on to the next best thing, like these celebrity tequilas, and get out of my bourbon market.

I used to play in a poker group where the bottom half finishers would have to pay the top half finishers cash or a bottle of bourbon. 

I sold most of mine for a lot of money with Weller (sold for lots of money at no cost to me from winning it and had ten{?} bottles at one time), Blanton's, Pappy, Four Rose, etc, but still have ten or fifteen bottles of high quality bourbon.
