Lost Prophet 22 Year Bourbon

At $120 retail, this is almost like a bargain for an ultra-old bourbon. For 22 years in the barrel, there's just the right amount of oak. This is a surprisingly balanced whiskey. I loved the Barterhouse and found that each pour got better the more air got into the bottle. I can't wait to see what a little breathing time does for this!

Great bourbon. Has a nice balance of oak(not overly oaky either for 22 years old) and sweetness. Very well balanced.

I am not a huge fan of the other offerings from Orphan Barrel. Mostly because of the cost and not taste. However, the Lost Prohpet is supposed to be from the old Stagg and stored at Stitzel-Weller. So I was a bit more intrigued. Was able to get a few bottles at an unheard of price. Cracked one open for the New Year, and simply put..... wow. This was amazing. If you are a fan of Pappy or any of the Buffalo trace products then you have to try and get you hands on a bottle of this. To me personally it is better then Pappy 15.
