Currently Available Age-Stated Bourbons

[mosugoji64]

After the recent threads lamenting the loss of age statements, I thought it might be a good idea to maintain a running list of what age-stated bourbons are still out there. I didn't include any special releases - only regular releases. I also didn't include anything with the mandated under-four-year age statements though if others think they should be included, we can add them. Please let me know of any I've forgotten and I'll add them, or if any are incorrect and I'll make changes.

Baker's is still 7 isn't it?

[higgins]

Baker's is still 7-year age stated. Also, wasn't the Jim Beam Signature 12-year supposed to become a regular release, or was that just someone's (Chuck's?) prediction?

[Zeke]

Howdy!

I agree great idea. Another is Big House Bourbon. It is age stated at 6-years old. I believe it is more of a regional brand.

Heaven Hill gold label is BIB, but it doesn't specifically state an age on there, does it?

no, it has no age statement on it per se, but the BIB means it's at least 4 years old, but doubtfully not much more than that

Is Very Special Old Fitzgerald 12 year still produced. If so, in what states is it available?

[squire]

Very few, or so I'm told.

[kyrocklover]

Buck Bourbon is age stated at 8 years old

I had started a thread on it a while ago on the Old Ezra 101, but it really never got answered. Do we know if it's still being made? It seems it's disappearing from quite a few places.

[squire]

Buck Bourbon, I keep forgetting about that one. Born on the banks of Old Whiskey River where it grew a cool label and inflated price.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I did not include the WFE releases since they're not regular, everyday releases. Also, if anyone (Yeti/Josh?) can bring me up to date on the SA bottles, I was under the impression they were special/irregular releases. If the age-stated bottles are regular releases, let me know and I'll include them here.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed is a blend of 6, 8 and 10 yr. so would that count as an age statement of 6 yrs?

[qman22]

Still plentiful here in Ohio and priced at $14.40

Yep, I go over to Ohio regularly to pick this up.

I'm unfamiliar with the labeling on that one. Does it say so on the label? If so, we might be able to consider that a 6 year age statement.

There is no age statement on Rare Breed.

[squire]

True, there is no age statement though the back label says the contents are a mixture of 6-8-12 year old whisky. I suppose one could call that a minimum of six, an average of eight, or a Solera containing whisky up to twelve years of age.

No. It only counts if it is printed on the label.

[mosugoji64]

I think we'll forgo adding RB to the list and only add bottles with an explicit age statement going forward.
