Mystery solved and you are correct. It's the back label for their bourbon cream. Clearly a labeling mix up. Colors are slightly different but close enough to make the mistake.

Great!  An I was getting ready to star in the feature film exposing this dastardly deed.

I'll bet that back label was incorrectly grabbed since it is the same color as the new color on the new Ezra 7 label.  It's probably for some flavored or other type of whiskey They make.  Anyone know how to look up UPCs?  Those last 5 digits will tell us what it is.  The Old Ezra 7 ends in 11298, not 13147.  

 

Great catch, Joe! You deserve a Scooby snack!

I actually found a reasonably priced bottle of Old Ezra 101 7yr in my travels today and it had a different (apparently correct) label on the back. So, as y'all have surmised, there was apparently a labeling snafu.

Good to hear, great catch!! Glad this is all it was but in an era where mysterious numbers that mean nothing appear in  the exact locations that previously held age statements and whatnot  its important to keep an eye on labels and read the fine print. Well done SB!!

You need to put that on the  facebooks for $100. That's a rare misprint. Back in the baseball card boom misprints went for big bucks.

I'm glad it was figured out. I was thinking it was Scotch in Bourbon clothing.

LOL true.  I had a Barry Sanders rookie of the year card with the picture printed on both sides instead of picture on one side and stats on the other.  It was worth 4-5 times the amount of the normal card.

So... $1.60 or so?    HA!!       ( I added the emphasis to your post, Chappy.)

It is what it is but it won our last tasting and it;s being closed out in PA for 13 and change.

[Clueby]

I just checked my bottle no coloring statement on it either. 

Yeah I think its my new favorite ~$20 bottle. It just recently became available in MO. I prefer it over HH, VOB, WSR, FRSmB. OFBIB gives it a challenge but have to go to Illinois to get that one.

LOL  I bet you are correct on the current value of most baseball cards now.

How many did you buy? 

[CardsandBourbon]

So, I just got off the phone with TTB and told them that we had sleuthed out that the back label was from the bourbon cream and that it most likely was a result of someone grabbing the wrong label.  She asked me for the lot number so she could call EB and let them know of the snafu so they could correct any that hadn't been shipped.  Told her that most people wouldn't notice but that us "bourbon geeks" notice things like that.  She thanked me for alerting them since they are extremely interested in making sure that bourbon is protected since it's an American spirit.

[smokinjoe]

That sounds good CaB, but this is the TTB we're talking about...

I wonder how many kids from the 80s-90s who where into baseball card collecting are now into bourbon. This feels so much like baseball cards before the bust.

The Bourbon tastes much better than those stale sticks of gum, though.

Except for the part that I can do something useful with all the bourbon I have.

I should put this in the bourbon book thread but figured based on recent baseball card talks this was relevant.

That article really gets your attention. Will be fascinating to see where prices are when the dust settles. Thanks for posting

Like any speculative market there seems to be a number of similarities. I think Tot has said this much better than I can but it will be interesting to see what happens when supply catches up and everyone's bunkers are full.

Joe feel free to move this to the observations on the bourbon boom thread.

Interesting...I spoke recently to a local LS owner who said that the 7 year 101 isn't in his catalog anymore. It is such a great value. I don't think my bunker can hold anymore! Hopefully we aren't losing another AS bourbon.

That would be a shame, also hard to imagine since they only redesigned the packaging like a year ago.
