One of my closest friends is undergoing a messy divorce. So we decided to go out with his bro and ease the pain with some quality drinks. Saw this on a special lit shelf and decided what the hell?! We've never had anything Pappy's and you live once. I was stoked to say the least. The aroma yielded some very inviting characters consisting of baked apples, cinnamon, and vanilla. The flavor gave off a similar experience with some added caramel, oak and faint hint of leather. What surprised me was the bite. I didn't expect the burn it provided considering the caliber and hype behind anything Pappy related. It persisted longer than anticipated, but didn't ruin the experience overall. I definitely would buy a bottle if priced fairly, but would steer clear from anything secondary. Not worth the 💰 IMHO.
