copperhead Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 It's happened within the last two years, not sure exactly when though. I read about it somewhere, I think they said they just add more water to the mixture. I forget why they said they are doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Actually the change was made about a month ago, and they interviewed some who were less than thrilled about the change. The single barrel is still higher proof, and I was lucky enough once to get to try straight whiskey before it was diluted, that is the only way to go if you can find it.

gillbot Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Yep, about a month or so abg. They talked about it on Bob & Tom. They said the majority preferred the lower alcohol content and that's where it used to be before they raised it. Now they are returning it to where it should be.

Total Sign Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 If you want high alcohol content get 151 or grain alcohol. Enjoy the taste of JD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
