Another Age Statement Bites the Dust (And More Recent COLA Findings)

[Tico]

If the price is right, I'm interested: Jefferson's 21 Year Old Rye

That would be awesome

Im assuming it would come from the old stash that other ryes came from such as V21 and the Hirsch bottlings?

I wish this was true, but given the words "North American Rye," I'm guessing they found something north of the border. But who knows? It's not like I expect a straight answer.

Good lord! I am with you on this one. They're a little too proud of their concoctions for the price. This is perhaps the most gimmicky bourbon concept I have yet seen.

Worse than the Jefferson's Boat Bourbon? At least the Four Wood thing makes some sense.

Chuck? where are you? someone is suggesting that woodford MC series isn't worth it. You gotta tell him its worth the education and this is great experimentation that a big distillery should be doing.

sorry, was that ad homonym? Please don't ban me.

I think you mean ad hominem.

[Josh]

To elaborate: ad hominem is Latin for to the/a man. It refers to an argument or statement that is against a person rather than an idea. Example: "You're a jerk so you would think that Benchmark sucks."

Homonyms are different words that are spelled the same. Example: "I saw Chuck chuck another empty bottle of Lot B into the recycle bin."

[White Dog]

"You speak Latin, so you would never appreciate the fine qualities of WT101Rye."

There are actually 2 Old Forester Single Barrels listed, one for 100 proof and one for 90 proof. The more recent label submission is 90 proof, so I'm thinking maybe they changed their mind on the proof of this one? They are going the wrong direction

Wow. So some more SW juice getting the 21 treatment? I wonder how much it's going to cost....

Whatever the proof, they are trying something different with OF and that in itself is a step in the right direction.

Perhaps, but this label doesn't mention SW as the 17 and 18 year bottlings did.

Any new Forester expression is good news in my book unless the price is outrageous.
