Last fall we did a blind taste test with 6 people and six different types of bourbon. The bourbons ranged from high end top shelf to some cheaper stuff. The clear cut winners were the Costco brand and Makers Mark. The more expensive stuff did not score high by most tasters. Never tried Pappy, but I am skeptical that anything can be worth over $400 per shot? I must say that after tasting a couple of bourbons, it is hard to cleanse the pallet and get a true taste of the remaining brands.
