What high-end bourbons do you feel it compares with?

Yeah, I've heard the same.
I dunno man. I feel like when you have that kind of expense tied to a brown bottle, your brain just builds itself up to
expect something almost supernatural. I just found it to be...meh.
I had Blade & Bow's 22 about a year ago, and I'd put it above PVW, but that's just my personal taste. I think it's on-par with the likes Michter's 10...hell I've even got a bottle of Four Roses Limited Edition (12, 13, 15, 23 year blend) that I'd be willing to bet would score better to the average drinker in a blind taste.
I love the allure surrounding PVW...but, to quote my grandpa..."Sometimes the expensive shit is just worse."
