Old Grand-Dad Bourbon (80 proof)

If Evan black had a cooler older cousin who wasnt nearly as well known. Menthol. Boiled peanuts. Pipe tobacco. This thing makes you ready for a big Kentucky hug as soon as it gets near your lips. @bdanner is spot-on noting how the cedar/wood hints become more forward after it sits in the glass. Its nice. Stephanie, who I might add writes my favorite reviews on distiller, gets it dead-on with flat coke. It's not a big, punchy bourbon with body and finish but sometimes I just want to breeze through (delicious) shots, y'know? The end of the mouth is the definition of leathery, charcoal soot, rye mashbill character. It's good, it's cheap, it's not bland nor forgettable. Buy some! 82/100 for just taste, maybe bump it a good solid few points for value.

Love it. It isn't that cheap at $20. $16 on sale is nice.
