Talk:Old Crow

Popular Culture - music
The article lists Turnpike Troubadours as the originators of the song "Doreen" in 2015, but the Old 97's have an earlier version of the same song. I do not know, nor care to look it up (as I am drunk on Old Crow at the moment), if the Old 97's are the originators of "Doreen", but it is surely not the Turnpike Troubadours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.186.135.227 (talk) 12:11, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

The old crow warehouse with 40k barrels burned to the ground on July 3rd 2019. The fire was reported by many new outlets as a Jim Bean warehouse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.65.121 (talk) 18:08, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

"The warehouse that was destroyed contained 45,000 barrels of relatively young whiskey from the Jim Beam mash bill." - The statement was given to BourbonBlog.com by Beam Suntory --96.255.65.121 (talk) 19:06, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Is this the Old Crow referenced in Macklemore's Song "Irish Celebration"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.133.166.221 (talk) 18:44, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Hunter Thompson drank Wild Turkey, not Old Crow; cross reference the Wikipedia Wild Turkey article for sources. - J Reeher — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.23.168.240 (talk) 03:58, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Rye vs. bourbon
I'm not very knowledgeable about whiskey, but there is no mention here regarding the fact that Old Crow was at one point a Rye Whiskey. It may be noteworthy.--Rockfang (talk) 13:24, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

It seems like before prohibition old crow was rye, after 1948ish it was bourbon. I don't know the year it converted but probably has something to do with ww2. Its hard to tell but I have a 1940 label and it doesn't mention rye or bourbon, which is quite intriguing. I couldn't find out why but didn't really do an indepth search. Then I did a little research instead and sorry I wont taste test my bottle to tell you whether its rye or bourbon.

I'm not sure this comment belongs here, but I would like to respond to the "dubious" flag on Old Crow being the first to use the sour mash technique. The reference for this comes from the bottle of Old Crow itself. Just pick up any bottle of Old Crow and see for yourself. Is this a dubious claim by the manufacturer? Possibly. Does anyone have information showing otherwise? User: Frank Fielder — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6027:2A:3C94:53A0:6378:C2E3 (talk) 06:18, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Steinbeck, Thompson, and Old Crow
In the short novel Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck, a bar matron is seen pouring rot gut whiskey into an Old Crow bottle so the patrons believe they are getting good whiskey.

Also, Old Crow is drunk in Hunter S. Thompson's The Rum Diaries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:F:600:F9EA:8CBE:F132:1A2A:3E40 (talk) 03:05, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
