Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 21, 2019 (edited October 30, 2019)Nose: sweet vanilla, caramel, a little rye & maraschino cherry Body: light Palate: light toffee, caramel, vanilla and rye, Finish: medium slightly warming Note: was interested in this for a taste. A nice dram, incredibly smooth but not robust, nice and good not great. Would be a great starter bourbon -
Nose: sweet vanilla, toffee, salty caramel, hint of citrus, maybe orange peel, faint rye over time. Body: medium-medium long Palate: little juicy fruit on the start, black pepper, Little smokier over time. Finish: pretty long and warming. Fruity Note: this is good. Not amazing. The bubble gum fruitiness of this surprised me. After multiple drinks this one has really grown on me. The bubblicious sweetness is really good and I’m upgrading this to really good 4 stars.

Reviewed September 6, 2019 (edited February 6, 2021)Representing speyside Lossie river Nose: sweet peat, sweet medicinal, juicy fruit Body: light Palate: smoke hits me first, charcoal. A little of a faint metallic taste like a hint of the curiositas ten but not as powerful. Less metallic. The smoke lingers a long time. Charcuterie later, salami. Finish: enormous. Note: good the smoke overpowers this one -

Representing the isle of skye Nose: sea salt, sherry, orange and citrus, faint smoke Body: medium Palate: delicious. Literally a younger less muscular version of the 18, sweet and Smokey, tobacco is forward, but mixed beautifully with sweet citrus and again faint peat smoke. Finish: not long enough, but such a nice dram. Really not missing anything but some depth.

Nose: caramel, vanilla, cherry, cinnamon, burnt sugar Body: medium Palate: super sweet on the tongue, no burn on first sip but neat was a little hot. tastes like it smells caramel, vanilla, toffee, cinnamon Finish: long, Smokey caramel yum, warming. I put a few ice cubes in half way and the flavor stay about the same the spiciness let up a touch but it didn’t water down the flavor. This is really good with a cube.
