Buffalo Trace's web site (http://www.greatbourbon.com) for its full line of bourbons has gotten a subtle update recently. Because BT produces so many different brands, I'm glad they're keeping it up-to-date. It's a good way to see, among other things, what they're keeping in general distribution and what might be slated for termination.
For example, Old Charter 8-year-old is the featured Old Charter expression and the only other expression that appears at all is the 10-year-old. The 12- and 13-year-old expressions have disappeared.
Likewise with Virginia Gentleman, only the 90 proof "Fox" is shown, the formerly-standard 80 proof expression is not.
People who have been worried about the continuation of 10-year-old Ancient Ancient Age will be glad to see it represented. (Jim Murray called it "mesmeric.")
