I just checked the CRC's list.  Most of the stuff I drink is no longer recommended.

Make sure to read the heading summary above the Scotches.  They were quite honest.

Wow why the change all of a sudden?
Because anyone can tell if it says it on the label. If you're looking at a list then you're looking for more info, so therefore "only includes Scotches that are certified and/or are known to not have any contact
with wine or wine casks."
meaning - unknowns are not recommended, in contrast to their actual policy (as a certifying agency) of it having to be on the label, which AFAIK is based on the IGM.
CRC does a lot of research into stuff, and the Chicago Kollel published a book on sherry casks, which has a lot of interesting research as well.

Every Jewish liquor store
When I checked the stores in Lakewood a few months ago, they told me it's not available anymore.

It's out of stock everywhere. must have stopped it. Lincoln Henderson died a year or so ago, wonder if that has anything to do with it.

From the NY times, doesn't seem that it was ever a sure thing
Quote
In a smaller-scale but similar enterprise, the Royal Wine Corporation, a New York producer of kosher wine and grape juice, asked Wesley Henderson two years ago if he would be interested in making a kosher-certified version of his boutique bourbon, Angel’s Envy. “We were looking for a bourbon line in general,” said Shlomo S. Blashka, a wine and spirits educator at Royal, also the New York-area distributor of Angel’s Envy. “The Jewish community is a very big bourbon community.”

Mr. Henderson did not have to be told. “You’d have to be blind not to notice it,” he said. “I thought, if you had a kosher bourbon, that would be a great thing. It seemed a no-brainer.”

For the new whiskey, Angel’s Envy was aged for six months in barrels that had held Kedem kosher port for 20 years. The run sold quickly, Mr. Henderson said, and may become a permanent addition to the bourbon maker’s line.
