I can concur with that. The label on the back is modern type.

This is the stuff at a store near me. Is this the newer font you're referring to?
Re: Vintage Bourbon 17 2012
That matches mine. You may ask the manager when it came in.

How do we know it's a wheater? Has this info come from an official source, or is it speculation?

I opened it and tasted it, most definitely a wheater. Don't take my word for it. Buy a bottle and try it yourself.

Just check out all that wheat on the label!! (OK, not exactly a legally binding contract)

Wow, so different regions could get a rye-Bourbon versus wheat? If that's true then KBD is a bit more messed up than I thought.
Although...it is tasty bourbon O_O

Read the post. It's not a regional thing, but more of a time thing. If a region has not picked any up for about 4 years, then it would still be the rye-recipe version.

Ah! Well, for Texas I can assure you I have never seen VB in the Dallas area until Spec's open 5 months ago.
