Has anyone put together their own mixing of "poor mans pappy"? I have been thinking about tinkering with a mix myself.

OK guys... so I've been hearing some buzz about Jim Beam Distillers Cut (not to be confused with the tons of other Jim Beam releases) that came out in late 2017. So far I hadn't seen it in my locals, but they had about 12 bottles on the shelf at Specs. It was $17.99 per bottle. HMMMM... I decided to give it a go...
Its actually really good. Not like blow your mind complex or anything, but its **** good for the price. Its for sure the best sub-20 bourbon I've purchased.
Its 50 proof, aged 5-6 years and is not cold filtered, so it leaves a lot of the stuff that most bourbons filter out. This means its a bit cloudy if you drop some ice in it, but the flavor profile makes up for it.
I don't think I've ever drank a cheap whiskey straight and liked it, but this one is different. Looks for it on the shelf, its worth 17 just to try it out.
