In 2015 we were there when they were bottling the 20 year version of Pappy.

That is done by hand. There was a small assembly line where they were hand affixing the labels and packaging the 3 bottle cases. They are very proud of that product and put real effort into it.

The whole year supply was 11 barrels, which sounds like quite a bit until you realize that after 20 years there are only a few gallons left in each barrel.

The supply should be a bit larger in coming years since the supply of Weller is so tight. They are letting it grow up into something they can charge essentially what they want for.
