OT: Pappy Van Winkle

They never tell you what you need to know.
Can anyone get this?
I have a few friends here and there that have been lucky enough to get this, and I have tasted through most of them (10, 12, 15, 20 and Rye). Most of these guys have children that live in big cities (Chicago, DC, New York, Miami, LA, etc.) and they tell their kids to ask for it every time they go into a liquor store, and it's amazing how often the person behind the counter pulls a bottle from under the desk and sells it to them. I'm guessing fags in LA aren't into it as much as old farts on the East Coast and South.
I had a liquor store locally that got them in about a month ago and sold out in hours. They were selling the 10 for $200 and it went up from there. Most of my friends were able to pay retail which was under $100 for everything.
There's better things out there, but the mystic of it is half the draw.

It's brilliant bourbon! I agree that the mystique is part of the "pappy mania" but it is top shelf hooch!
I heard that Anthony Bourdain said he wanted a full back tattoo of Pappy Van Winkle! I hope that was a joke! ;)
And to any strippers considering a big, ugly Pappy tattoo please reconsider! That would be non-brilliant! :(
Famous for being famous
There are very good/great bourbons you can get for a much better price like Blanton's, Woodford Reserve, etc. What other bourbons do you fellers like?
What other Bourbon's
Knob Creek is a favorite and so is Woodford Reserve. I have a Pritchard's Double Chocolate Bourbon that I like a lot.
I would buy:
Elmer T. Lee
Stagg JR
Weller 12
