1792 Ridgemont Reserve Drops Age Statement

Unread postby WhiskeyCollector » Wed Feb 25, 2015 9:43 pm

Just noticed 1792 Ridgemont Reserve has dropped its age statement. It used to say on the back label that it's 8 years old but now nothing!
A sad trend that I can only see getting worse. :(

We tend to panic when an age statement is dropped, since we are confident that younger whiskey will be used and it will be inferior. Personally, I will wait to pass judgement until I have tasted the non-age-stated version. I recall the uproar over Buffalo Trace dropping the age on Weller Antique. After I tried the first non-age-stated version, I thought it was superior to the age stated bottle to which I compared it. In the meantime, one can buy all of the age stated bottles that will fit in their bunker.

Howdy,

Bought my first bottle of this well regarded Bourbon this evening. The taste and the nose are good. I'm digging it for $30. It beats Elijah Craig 12 and Russell's Reserve 10 in that price range. YMMV and MHO.
