With all the talk about the incredible bottles in Sotheby’s recent Wax Top Collection, here’s a set we didn’t see in the auction.
The complete 2007 Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year Single Barrel trio.
Two barrels were selected for the members of StraightBourbon.com, with a third selected for the Kentucky Barrel Society. One bottle from each barrel: SB 1, SB 2, and KBS.
All 23 years old. All Stitzel-Weller. All bottled in 2007.
Individually, these almost never surface. Seeing all three together is something else entirely.
