I have 18 y/o scotch taste on a bourbon salary.
Bought any Pappy lately....
The one and only bottle of Pappy I've purchased was around 12 years ago. I think it was a bottle of 10y/o and was 1/2 the price of 18y/o Glenmorangie, at that time, which is my goto 18y/o Scotch. I can rarely find Buffalo Trace in my parts, much less Blanton's or Pappy.
Larceny is my recent favorite. It is also a wheated bourbon like Pappy, just from a different distillery. In my opinion it is the best "cheap" bourbon option. Although I've also grown fond of Ezra Brooks too.
