I ...Here's a comment EllenJ sent me via email:<br /><br />I wanted to post a reminder that a couple years ago Knob Creek faced a legitimate crisis resulting from a lack of sufficient 9-year-old bourbon. They could have reduced the proof (watered it down to 90 or 95), or dropped the age statement and used 8-year-or-less. But what the did instead <br />was maintain the integrity of the product and simply advise their distributors that there would be shortage. Too bad that more fine, upstanding, and honest distillers seem not to have considered such a solution, huh?<br />skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-66874722222436249352014-02-04T06:16:55.161-08:002014-02-04T06:16:55.161-08:00Anon, that would be a really long list.Anon, that would be a really long list.skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-9468007262734730612014-02-04T04:46:02.326-08:002014-02-04T04:46:02.326-08:00I'd be interested in seeing a list including e...I'd be interested in seeing a list including expressions that have disappeared altogether.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-41578293382142733952014-02-04T04:42:49.320-08:002014-02-04T04:42:49.320-08:00Old Weller Antique Original 107 used to carry 7yo ...Old Weller Antique Original 107 used to carry 7yo label, and William Larue Weller used to be W.L.
