Oops - missed the "Barrel Proof" text on the label. Saw the written-in "100 Proof" and thought this would be a reduced-proof version. Now I'm wondering what the difference will be between this and CEHT Barrel Proof. That one struck me as a younger version of GTS. Could this be a regular offering where the Taylor was a one-off?
Re: Another Age Statement Bites the Dust (And More Recent COLA Findings)
Those are my thoughts Brian, I expect they can lay hands on enough stock to make this one a regular issue.

So this is their way of bringing back ER 10/101?
I guess antlers sell better then wings?
Re: Another Age Statement Bites the Dust (And More Recent COLA Findings)
Well if its good juice at a decent price and I can get my hands on a bottle then I don't care if it has wings, antlers or a big giant ass.

+1 on this initiative.

Oh God, that one was inevitable wasn't it.
Re: Another Age Statement Bites the Dust (And More Recent COLA Findings)
The CEHT Barrel Proof bottles I have are almost 135 proof, so this is quite a bit tamer than that. And it was $70, which is only $10 less than I pay for Grand Stagg.
I think the antlers are a great mark, evoking a vision of a powerful, uncompromising product. (However, I would be willing to agree to "a big, giant ass" for something more affordable and readily available.)
Is this the OWA for those who prefer a rye mashbill? I guess the price and availability will tell.

Very minor TTB find from a couple weeks ago:
Looks like Old Rip may soon be bottled in the wine-style bottles like are sold overseas. I guess that's good news...they take up less space on the bar.
