Jim Beam BLACK LABEL is no longer guaranteed to be aged at least 8 years.
The older bottle still have the double aged for 8 years statement on them.
The newer bottles will have the double aged statement but removes the 8 year statement.
That means that some of the bourbon will likely be between 4 and 7 years old, mixed in with some bourbons that are aged 8 or more years. It is very likely that the taste of the bourbon will not change. Depending upon location inside the warehouses the bourbons age/mature at different rates due to temperatures differences, sunlight, air circulation, etc. So it probably won't make any real difference to those of us who have an older bottle and compare it to a new bottle in terms of taste.
Noooooooooooooooo, that was my go to mixer.
well, last night I went to my favorite local place with lots of bourbon. They finally got in some Jefferson's Ocean which I've been wanting to try since I saw it reviewed here. I had planned to try a few others like 'old blow hard', but after my first glass of Ocean on the rocks, I was hooked. I didn't drink anything else. It is definitely my new favorite!!!

I'll be stopping at CVS tomorrow for a couple bottles of the Evan Williams Apple Orchard. I almost bought the JD version but it was $19.99 and 15%... Kinda silly if you ask me...
i just got to taste some single barrel Evan Willams from a barrel pulled specifically for The Keystone Sports review in Indy...
it is a good sipping bourbon.. they sell it by the bottle for $23 , plus they do pour it so you can try it first..
