(via Why Are Sazerac And Buffalo Trace Trying To Be So Damned Sneaky?)

Sazerac and Buffalo Trace have a sneaky, deceitful habit of dropping the age statement from a few of their whiskeys...but leaving just the number of that age statement on the bottle label. They've now been sued for this a couple of times, but they seem to think it's the customer that's being unreasonable, not them...

Old Charter - Bourbon Review

After a recent first-time-taste of Old Charter 10yr., I was blown away at the quality. The Old Charter line uses the Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1, which is slightly lower in rye and shares the same recipe with Eagle Rare. I’m a fan of Old Charter 8yr., but the 10yr is better. The 10yr. has buttery, toffy, honey notes, without much of a bite. I found the almost extinct bourbon sitting beside Jack Daniels at a Tennessee O’Charley’s on a road trip, needless to say a pleasant surprise. The remaining Old Charter option is the 101. This bourbon I do not care for at all, carrying a bit of an artificial taste, although I know many who like it.

The difference between these three bourbons is significant, sadly the best of the bunch in no longer available. With the recent ‘bourbon shortage’ as stated by Buffalo Trace themselves, we are seeing age statements and entire bottles removed from production. It is assumed by some that the Old Charter 10yr. is headed toward the Eagle Rare, and Eagle Rare ditched their age statement. Draw your own conclusions.

Take a listen to our thoughts on Old Charter 8yr., a tasty bourbon that is often overlooked.

A little side-by-side comparison. I think we like the 8yr better, actually.
