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

[squire]

Seems like Beam is reaching back for some label identity (Old Tub) and I like that trend. I agree though, replacing "The Head of the Bourbon Family" with that new cutesy 'Daddy' comment is misplaced thinking. It's as if someone in marketing is trying to create a new catch phrase for the brand as in 'gimme a shot of Daddy'.

Oh well, there are some who live in the World of labels and the rest of us who live in the real World.

They mess with the 114 label they'll see our wraith i suspect

thered be an uproar, i suspect

They added "High Rye Mash Bill" to the label. Trying to benefit from Rye's resurgence as well?

Um... Didn't notice. This is wonderful news! I'm sick of boiling off the water on the regular EC12 :slappin:

Sorry for taking your joke to the literal, (also for replying two years after the post!)

but doesn't alcohol vaporize at a lower temperature than water?

Not from COLA but another age statement biting the dust:

Old Taylor 6 year seen in the wild with the 6 intact, the year, not so much.

You know people around here slag this stuff but I loved it for a 9.99 5th with an age-statement. Tasted like a little woodier White Label. I wonder if they've transitioned stocks over to BT juice now which is already obviously in short supply.

Looks like Old Grand Dad will be getting new labels on the 80 and 100 proof products:

it does look kinda creepy. Im all for throwback labels

[qman22]

"The Grand Daddy of Bourbon" :skep:

Don Draper would not approve

[GaryT]

The only thing I like about the new label is the inclusion of "high rye". At least helps folks who know they like a high-rye bourbon know (and while that means they buying more of it up, it also means keeping the label alive, which ain't a bad thing).

I don't know how this thread died, but I'm bringing it back.  This one isn't a terrible loss, but it's a loss nonetheless.  (I apologize in advance for what will likely be an enormous picture.)
