Buffalo Trace Distillery UPCs

[buoy37]

Buffalo Trace Distillery products carry two different UPC numbers, 80244 and 88004. Is there any rhyme or reason which products get which UPC code? I thought BT and ER start out as the same juice, but they carry different UPCs.

Here is what is in my cabinet:

80244

Buffalo Trace

Rock Hill Farms

Blanton's

88004

Wellers

Stagg Jr

ER10

EHTSmlB

Thomas Handy Antique

wLw Antique

Stagg Antique

I don't know the answer, but clearly it has nothing to do with mashbill, as you have both high and low rye recipes under the first UPC, and at least 3 different mashbills under the second UPC.

But for the glaring exception of the flagship (plain old BT KSBW itself), it seems 80244 is reserved for Age Int'l brands (distilled by BT for a separate owner), while 88004 is for brands owned by BT. My own cabinet reflects this, too: 88004 for BTEC, BTAC, BT SOP, Wellers, old-ish Benchmark, OOP OC 12/90; but 80244 for AAA 10y, dusty AA, old Hancock's, old Blanton's, ETL ... but also my BT Buffalo Cream. Why BT KSBW and Cream are 80244 is beyond me.
