Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon

Very sweet

Grapefruit citrus and vanilla oak nose. Citrus and vanilla in the mouth. Sweet followed by cereal, oak, and then grassy rye--but not too spicy--in the finish. Medium mouthfeel, orange color, orange label, short finish leaving a vague orange peel aftertaste. A very respectable bottom shelf bourbon with a high rye content, but BIB 4 yr straight whiskey credentials, and grand-dad staring at you after every pour. Not going to WOW your friends, but more than respectable as a mixer, and campfire metal cup worthy.

100 proof. Has a bite but drinks easy. Add an ice cube.

Neat

OGD BIB has become a permanent resident on my shelf and is my favorite “go to” for any occasion. Holds up well in cocktails, and is an easy sipper neat. Neat in a Glencarin rested 10 mins Nose: vanilla, cinnamon, oak Palate: rye spice, cinnamon, caramelized sugar, and orange zest Finish: lingering vanilla, orange, and sweet corn This bourbon is not the most memorable, but makes for a great daily sipper at $24/1L
