WT101 straight up ruined me on bourbon hunting anymore. A $17-20 bottle that drinks better than most of the bourbons I've had and hunted for. It's hard to justify spending the time and money
Bingo. Nailed it.
Seconded.
I was sitting in a bar a few nights back (my usual spot, the bartender has a WT101 waiting for me when I sit down), and some dude I didn't know was talking to me about bourbon, since obviously as a WT drinker I was an amateur.
He was going on about how amazing some Unicorn bottles were, trying to impress me with his knowledge. The bartender, a personal friend of over a decade, knew what was coming.
After being asked if I had ever heard of Pappy, and being told that I had, I asked the guy if he wanted to step out to my car for a minute. The bartender was trying not to laugh. He had been out to the car with me a few days prior.
I had my travel case in the trunk from a small bottle share with close friends a few days prior. The weather has been nice.

His shock was... amusing. I poured him a little of each, told him it was nice to meet him, and ordered another WT101. That place sells it for $6.95 a pour. Best value in the house, and I don't have to worry about whether I can ever replace it.
I still think the Bomberger's is the best of what I poured him.
