I started a 6 year surgical subspecialty residency in 2008. My starting salary was 31.9k per year. I think we got a 1.5k raise per year and but the end of residency I was making right about 50k per year in 2014.

I was working 80+ hours a week had 10 days of vacation and no guaranteed holidys/weekends. Also had 230k in loans.

Residents in general make more and have more time off in EU.

When do you think collectors and whiskey critics will finally admit that any bourbon aged >15 years just tastes like shit?

I have personally opened bottles of pappy 20 and 23 and they are much worse then lot B and the 15 year.

Same for all other rare bottles > 15 years.

Bourbon just absorbs to much oak in the barrel after that time to taste good.

How much longer will we see the "older is better" scotch whiskey mentality in Bourbon drinkers?
