Also, since this bourbon is not available right now, what other brands of bourbon come close to it's quality? I am looking for an easy to find, readily available brand.
My last question, what store has a good quality selection of Kentucky Straight Bourbons. I currently shop at Total Wines & more.
Thank you.

See if you can still say that in about a year and a half.

If the Lot B is already BT juice (and very good for the price) what will change in a year and a half?

-The ORVW 10 year old and Van Winkle Family Reserve 12 year old (Lot b) is Buffalo Trace product, not Stitzel-Weller I think this has been commonly known and reported by many, but I’m not aware of either Julian Van Winkle, Harlen, or anyone else that close to the situation confirming this before. So from that stand point, we can check that off the list.

Here, specifically, is the make-up for the upcoming (Fall 2012) bottling. This information comes directly from Julian Van Winkle.
The Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye has long been a 50/50 combination of Medley (Owensboro) and Cream of Kentucky (old Bernheim in Louisville) rye whiskey. The whiskey was all dumped into stainless steel tanks years ago. Each fall, some of it is withdrawn and bottled.
This fall’s Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year old will be wheated bourbon made entirely at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort.
Van Winkle Family Reserve 12 year old (‘Lot B’) will be a mixture of wheated bourbons made at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort and the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville.
Pappy Van Winkle 15 year old will be a mixture of wheated bourbons made at Buffalo Trace, Bernheim, and Stitzel-Weller; every bottle will contain some whiskey from each distillery.
Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old and Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old will be a mixture of wheated bourbons made at Buffalo Trace and Stitzel-Weller.
Eventually, as current stocks are depleted, everything will become Buffalo Trace.

Either way, my statement wasn't something I made up.

I realize that. I'm guess I'm overly sensitive about all this hoopla over Van Winkle provenance. Sorry If I offended you.
