Lost Age Statements

These age statements were not lost, they were thrown away.

Pure Kentucky 10 yo ?

old charter 10 and 12 year olds

Im not sure when it happened, but didnt OGD lose an age statement about 10 years ago?

[sku]

Right. Was it 10 or 12?

[smknjoe]

There used to be an 8yr. OGD.

[squire]

Oh I wouldn't say they were thrown away, I expect we will see them again on a different label.

A different, more expensive label.

[squire]

Oh yes, definitely more expensive, those high tone graphics cost.

I think those bit the dust in the 90's. Sku is looking for the past 10 years or so.

That's right. I'm also talking about expressions that continued without the age statement as opposed to expressions that were discontinued altogether, such as Weller Centennial.

Did AAA 10 yr go away?

[squire]

I believe they announced it would be retired.

To be fair, most of them didn't completely scrap the age statement. They just scrapped that pesky "Years Old" part of it.

[squire]

Right, they left us with something, kind souls.

Did AAA 10 yr go away?

Gone but not forgotten....may it rest in peace.

Sku, I Thought the Johnny Drum private stock was 12 years old not 15 year. Unless there were two different versions. The ones that I have left or 12-year-old.

There was a 15 as well. Some showed up at the Willett gift shop during KBF last year.

[squire]

Both 12 and 15, pretty sure I saw 8 somewhere.

[LCWoody]

Thanks for the info. Didn't know about the 15y.

Squire, would it be the 8y 86 proof that you are referring to. I still have one of those also.

[squire]

Yeah, that's the one, I noticed it because of the different color label but didn't buy any.

[LCWoody]

That is my last one. It is no where's near as good as the 12-year-old Johnny Drum private stock.
