First they rip the handles off the handles and now they have pulled the plug on 10 Year Old Charter. Granted I am a Charter 8 man, but I do/did splurge on occasion and poney up for "the good shite". This is horrible news. I have no link to offer. All I have to go on is social media murmurings and THIS. That link is to the Buffalo Trace site that used to show its (3) Old Charter products: Charter 8, Charter 10, and Charter 101. Now there are only 2 products available .


I'm thinking this is some commy plot. Maybe some dying effort by Hugo Chavis to send the NELA farming community into a tail spin and cause a world wide shortage of cotton and grain. Who knows? Alls I know is it's terrible. I have sent an email to headquarters, but have yet to get a response. Lets keep our collective fingers crossed that this is all a vicious rumor. If proven to be accurate I'll coordinate the first of what I'm sure to be a series of candlelight vigils.

RIP Ol' Friend:

When did they nix 12 yr OC? I've been out of the loop.

RIP


OC just needed to be marketed better, it's some good shite.

Prefer OC #8 to 10 & 12, so I guess I'm ok with it.

Balls, didn't you e-mail them about removing the handles too? Did they ever get back to you?

This is terrible news. As I finished off the last of my Makers last night, I decided that I was done with buying that expensive shite and was getting back to my roots and OC 10.

Now I come here and you tell me I can't do that.

My cousin said the mood at the LPCC was very somber last night after they broke the news to them.

Buffalo Trace only has 3 bourbon mashbills. All brands come from one of these 3. Brand depends on age and location in the warehouse. The Old Charter is the low rye mashbill, which includes Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and George T Stagg. So if you like Charter 10, try one of the ones I mentioned.

Those same barrels of bourbon that have been making Charter 10 are still out there, just packaged different

Guess I need to find a bottle and sit on it for a keepsake. Open it up when I retire or something.

Stopped by a new whiskey store on the way home. They had no old Charter nor Eagle Rare.

I got a bottle of Turkey 101. I'm trying out some new $25ish bourbons.

I've heard that the reason for stopping 10 productions is b/c the Chinese have taking a serious liking to the product and they are having to turn what was suppossed to be 10 into 8 year old just to keep up for the demand on that product.

I believe they will bring 10 back eventually if they can ever get caught up on their demand. We've been stockpiling 10 for awhile now at my bar and are going to price accordingly since most bars will soon be out completely.
