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.
