[QUOTE="donner, post: 2937787, member: 277"] Bourbon is the trend and that is sapping the supply. Prices go up. I can't believe how much Rye has increased in price, too. Also, IIRC, Pappy doesn't sell commercially for those crazy prices. It's retail price has remained largely unchanged. It's the aftermarket that is playing on the scarcity of it that is fetching the absurd prices. Restaurants are a different matter, though. The Van Winkle family has come through Oxford several times for a big food symposium we host. The bartender at the 'go-to bar' (which happens to be our local haunt) told us that the family styled Weller to be the bourbon they always know they can get when they travel. I like the 12 year and i find the myth of Pappy to have outpaced the product (for me personally). There are many other bourbons i enjoy more and could get several bottles of for the price of Pappy these days. [/QUOTE]
