082 - Ending Old Scout Picks, More Age Statement Losses, and The Most Obtainable Barrel Proof on Bourbon Community Roundtable #5

Joined by Blake of bourbonr.com, Jordan of breakingbourbon.com, and Kerry of subourbia.com

So Smooth Ambler has discontinued their barrel program, which means no more private picks of SAOS. Thoughts?

2017 Predictions. What's going to happen?

Are there any companies that will be bought up in 2017?

Are we going to see more bottles lose age statements?

Is there a consensus favorite among the more easily "obtainable" high proof? Stagg Jr, ECBP, EH Taylor BP
