They are short on stock so they are going to stretch it. Not a big deal. I like 86 proof beam black fine as an example. Jack cut their proof to 80 and it did not hurt their business, they are still big number 1 in American whiskey.
That said, it is sad to see. Better buy some 90 proof quick, or it will be gone. I must point out that I just got a bottle of Larceny which is similar to makers and is 92 proof, as well as a big Wild Turkey at a heavy hitter 101.
Most makers gets mixed, so 90% of the customers will never even notice the drop from 90 to 84.
This does make other good wheaters look like a better value. WL Weller SR, Fitz, and my new Larceny all come to mind.
LATE Breaking news: I bought a 1.75 liter of 90 proof on the spur of the moment decision. I plan to hang on to it for a while and then enjoy it slowly.
