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.

I think the proverbial Charter shite hit the fan when they were aquired by Satan and his minions at Buffalo Trace.

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?

That is disappointing. I am fine with Old Charter 8 though.

Cousins, but distant. They could have legally married.

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.

I need a new whiskey. I had a drink of OC 8 last night after I polished off my MM and it just sucks. My FiL drinks that swill and keeps a fifth at my house.

He better pick up a new one next time he comes because I polished his off last night.

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