macdeffe Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 In Europe I think bourbon/rye will trend a lot more in the futureRight now it's a lot of uphill but as people get used to this catagory and realsie the quality for money available here (scotch is getting expensive)Steffen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadewood Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks for posting, but I hate these "slideshow" web pages. Why do they do this? Just to increase web page count hits; all about ads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasH Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 One of the trends was recreating whisky recipes of the past. Funny they didn't mention BT remaking the Old Taylor bourbon recipe using white corn!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbon Boiler Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I think the biggest trend included was the marketing to the female audience. 50+ percent of the population has been ignored for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightNoChaser Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks for posting, but I hate these "slideshow" web pages. Why do they do this? Just to increase web page count hits; all about ads?I totally agree. Having them condensed on one page makes a lot more sense. But more hits = more ad exposures = more $$$ so they do what makes money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Some people seem to assume that the white corn bourbon BT put down for Taylor a couple of years ago will be Taylor when it comes of age. The evidence suggests otherwise. That was a one-off. They haven't made any more of it. It was, I think I heard, three barrels worth. It will be like the old fashioned sour mash, an authentic historic artifact but a one-off, not a regular product.The speculation is that the recently released barrel proof 7-year-old is going to be the 'standard' E. H. Taylor, at least for the time being. I kind-of thought they we're going to make all the Taylor's BIB, since he was instrumental in passing the BIB Act, but I guess not.I also wonder if they'll ever kill off the bottom-shelf Taylor?

ThomasH Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 What recipe did they use for Old Taylor? The original or a Buffalo Trace recipe!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 This new release is the BT rye-recipe bourbon mash bill. The only things they've made that are Taylor-specific are the one-off sour mash and the one-off white corn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
