unless you're a super big Bourbon nut, buy the INFI.
frankly, I (and hordes of others) find the Pappy 15 and 12 to be more interesting and delicious anyway, irrespective of price. I stock the 20, and have tasted the 23, and strongly prefer the 15 (with the 12 being a close runner up). even further, I'd rather have the 13 year Rye over all of em.
YMMV.
edited to add: and you'll be hard pressed to find a bigger Van Winkle evangelist than me... I think they make the best bourbon, and whiskey for that matter, on earth, but, again, I think the 12 and 15 year expressions are where it's at - and that doesn't have a thing to do with cost... I could buy the 23 and more 20 if I wanted it.
enjoy, either way it won't suck.
