Bbstout Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 ER10's age statement is already on the back label. What is the saying...The writing is on the wall? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Looks like this one was done in 2014..interesting to see the list from then compared to now. Italicized the ones that I know are gone or not readily available. Some I don't know the status. Updated to add Sam Clay. That's a good catch. Another one of the many HH regional brands, and one with a long history.

Clueby Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Why is Weller 12 italicized? Because it's not "readily available"? It is still being produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderKeg Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 How about Old Ezra 7yr, replacing Old Ezra 101 7yr. Also ECBP (12yr). To branch out from bourbon slightly, Bernheim Wheat is now 7yr, and Pikesville Rye is 6yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to track down the Ezra BP... its nearly impossible. I agree the ryes should be on the list and would add RR 6y/o Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish W12 would take up residence like that. Edited March 19, 2019 by PowderKeg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They removed single barrel and the neck band at the same time, I think. Yeah, my understanding is that the change had to do with the new automated bottling line and somehow the neck band was not able to be applied. Believe BT has said there are no plans to remove the age statement and I believe it has been a few years already. While on the topic the bottles no longer say "single barrel" right? Think this was because the new system could have a bottle that finishes one barrel and starts another and thus they cannot call it a single barrel anymore. Ezra Brooks 7 year BP is readily available IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezra Brooks 7 year BP is readily available IMO. That is correct. They say that it is still a single barrel product, but they chose to remove it because the new bottling line may cause bourbon from other barrels to enter the bottle. That was 4-5 years ago and the age statement has remained. I was going to say Ezra BP 7 Year, but after the initial release, NC has seen no more.

PaulO Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 OP lists FRSB. I didn't think it had an age statement on the label? It was supposed to be around or close to ten years. EWSB still has an age statement, but it keeps getting rolled back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinbrink Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Jeffer's Creek 6 year is still very much available here as a house brand at a local chain FWIW.
