I’m not a bourbon guy, I’ll have to take your word for it. Dude sure does mention it a lot.

Limited production and high demand, and they charge a mint for it. Read just about any review and it doesn't really stand out from other bourbons. 

It's a classic troll move to post about something that makes it look like you have status. "Golf and pappy", several times a week. Sure bud.

I used to buy Pappy 20 off the shelve any day of the week for $110.00 and could readily get the 23-year-old for $250.00. The 20 is better than the 23, but none of it is worth the ridiculous prices they cost now. We're talking 1000s per bottle, and it's nothing now but a status symbol. There are plenty of $50.00 dollar bourbons out there that are better. Buffalo Trace is just excellent at marketing and product placement. Their "Blanton's" became scarce after they started featuring it on "Justified." The bourbon boards out there that are populated by bourbon enthusiasts call those chasing these bottles and paying exorbitant prices for them "taters." I work right down the street from the distillery and you should see the idiots standing in line for hours in the cold and rain to buy a bottle of Blanton's, Eagle Rare or Col. Taylor at msrp from the gift shop. They had to limit people to one of each every three months and these taters still stand in line to buy it. I drive by and laugh, and run into Kroger's and buy a bottle of Michters....
