Col. E H Taylor....100 proof barreled in bond. The cheaper version runs about $40 to me it's as smooth as the $80 bottle.
Comparable in taste to Pappy 10 year old.

This year I had my pick of one bottle of the Buffalo Trace antique collection and I chose George T Stagg.

Im not crazy about regular Buffalo Trace but Pappy Van Winkle is not over rated. I'm not crazy about the 12 year old but the 10, 15 and 20 year old Pappy is very smooth never tasted the 23 year old.
