That way we could compare the virtues of say a 2006 OGD BIB with a 2007 VOB BIB. It seems like vintages are popular with the yearly Evan Williams single barrels yet not possible with many others where whiskies do not have an age statement (Buffalo Trace) or only an at least so many years old statement like Knob Creek ( i.e. at least 9). Perhaps vintages could put more life into this moribund category?

Even those that are 100 proof have to be from a single distilling season and Knob Creek makes no such claim. <br /><br />As some have noted, any single barrel at 100 proof and over four years old (such as Four Roses or Rock Hill Farms) could have a BIB designation, but I'm only listing those that are actually BIB. That means that not only do they comply with the requirements, but they list the distillery number on the label. <br /><br />BIBs are the only American whiskeys required to disclose the distillery on the label.skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-65746713633781565752013-02-25T06:41:42.849-08:002013-02-25T06:41:42.849-08:00you forgot about wild turkey 101, knob creek, and ...you forgot about wild turkey 101, knob creek, and four roses single barrel.
