dSculptor Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Well, with AS bourbons becoming a thing of the past, they're aren't too many left out there, so which one do you think will fall next? I believe HMK 10 will be the next in line, what do you think? Winner gets to say I told you so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller542 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) You are right, there aren't many left, but HMK 10 is a good guess. I'm guessing Baker's. Beam has messed with everything else, Baker's has to be next. No matter who wins this game, we all lose.

Saul_cooperstein Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Age statement on ER10? Store picks of OWA? Age statement on ECBP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvd99 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 A shot in the dark, but how about a significant price increase on Blanton's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auracom Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 ECBP. I'll be quite surprised if the age statement is included on the new packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm most concerned about the age statement on ER10. Of the "standard" Buffalo Trace offerings that are readily available, is this not the only one with an age statement remaining? I don't consider Weller 12 to be readily available. Hoping 4R stays the course and we don't see dramatic aging down of the barrel selects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Baker's or HMO 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already happened. You could fine 11,12, and occasionally a bit older than 12 year old barrel selects with regularity as recently as a year and a half ago. Now they are mostly in the 8-9 year range and I think some are even in the 7's. You also got to choose from all 10 recipes when picking a barrel. At the most recent pick I did back in November only 6 recipes where available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Eagle Rare 17 Saz 18 PVW 15, 20, 23 VWFRR 13 j/k HMcK10 and Baker's seem to be probable candidates. Beyond the loss of age statements, I wonder what brands or bottlings might be discontinued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhopper Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if we see sub-$30 Bottled-In-Bond bourbons being discontinued over the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaM Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Man, this is a depressing thread. I tend to agree on the ECBP with a new bottle design coming out it will be interesting to see if the age statement stands. Then again, that's why they did away with the AS on the SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthedog Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 My guess was ER10 but HMK10 is a pretty good guess too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are really good times in the bourbon world. It's just that we are so accustomed to having our cake and eating it too with bourbon, some of us can only see the crumbs at this point. Fact is, there is so, so, much more good stuff around, and that will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledInBond Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The Baker's McKenna and ER10 suggestions seem pretty obvious. I'll go another direction though and theorize that Willett will come out with NAS WFE bourbon & rye bottles, and all age stated WFEs will become gift shop only. They will price these new NAS offerings higher than their current non-WFE products like Noah's Mill, in the $70-80 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10 year was removed from the neckband on the front, but I'm pretty sure it still says 10 year on the back of the bottle. In addition, as of two minutes ago the Buffalo Trace website still says aged for no less than 10 years. Is that not considered an age statement?

DeepCover Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 ER still shows the 10 year age statement on the back label. I bought one 2 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ER10 lost its single barrel designation, although its still essentially single barrel in practice, but unless you've got some inside info on a forthcoming action, its still 10 year - both on back of bottle and website.

Im betting ECBP loses its age next, which, to me, might not be a bad thing. EC12 was too woody/aged for me. Now, an 8 year BP HH might be pretty good to me.

fishnbowljoe Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I am incorrect. My bad. As has been pointed out, ER has lost its single barrel designation, not its age statement. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
