Friends aunt brought a bottle to Easter dinner, she asked if anyone wanted to buy it. I know this stuff was sought after, but this is a bottle of 15yo, not the 23yo.
I've never tried a bottle of pappy, what should I offer for it? She is seeing the online places listing them for $900-1500, but I'm thinking she got one of the lotto spots they draw and you get to buy it for $79. I'm fine paying for it if that's what they actually go for, but if the hype has died down and they aren't going for hundreds of dollars I don't want to over pay. |

Tell her you'll offer what she paid for it plus a bit for her trouble. See if she bites and tells you how much she paid. Then offer her $50 over and thank her for being such a nice aunt to your friend. Oh, I assume it has the laser coding so you know it's authentic? |

seriously, dealer cost is under $80 bottle for 15yr. online they fetch up to $400.00.
I have 10 and 15 year. I would buy others before I spent crazy $$ on pappy.Attached File |
) are two of my favorites.
| It's really good bourbon and much sought after. MSRP is about $179.00, but you rarely see it for that price. If you got it for $500 you could easily double you money in the secondary market. What's she asking for it? If you intend to drink it I'd offer her $300 and open it on the spot. Kind of a bucket list pour with the family, making a memory type deal. |

I haven't tried the 15, and if it's anything like I'd expect it to be, $100-$125 would be what I'd pay for it. I might change my tune if I ever try it, but for now that's what I'm going with 
I have had the 20 and 23, and I can drive to Louisville and take the Evan Williams tour and buy their 23 year 750ml for $300. It is very similar to the Pappy 20. |
| I've bought and sold a few of these of different ages. The 15 yr is considered the best of the bunch by collectors and connosuirs. It goes for close to the same price as the 20 yr. Unless you are a collector, I wouldn't buy the stuff unless you can get it for a price that allows you to flip it for a profit. Offer her $500 and then sell it to a guy at ibuypappyvanwinkle.com. |

Everybody acts like Weller 12yr is sooo easy to get....its not. I get in a couple lottery's a year and that stuff goes right behind the Pappy. Even Old Antique 107 is unobtanium now.
I offered somebody on here $100 for a bottle of Weller 12 yr.....crickets. If you can get the Pappy 15yr for a decent price I'll give you $250 for it. And I'm not buying to resell....Got a bottle 10yr and 12yr....15yr is next on my list
