When I see the prices for Pappy, it makes me glad I am a beer drinker. I have had a few different bourbons over the years. I have never once said wow, that is great. I need to spend a ton of money to get some of the good stuff. I feel the same way about wine.
I will pay for a Chimay on occasion, or a 12 pack of Erdinger Dunkle, my favorite. It is miles away from the price of good bourbon.
We toured the Maker's Mark distillery a couple of years ago. We were served some samples from the "white lightning" variety to their top of the line aged good stuff. It was good, but not worth the money to my wallet. But that is just me.
