Old Grand-Dad Bourbon (80 proof)

Very standard stuff. Nothing offensive, but nothing to write home about. I suspect it's the same mashbill as Basil Hayden's. There is definitely a heavy rye influence in this one. Great to throw in a flask, and at $22 per bottle, there is much reason to pick one up. Not great, not memorable, but it's a solid value. 2.5 stars.

Smells pretty good. Light caramel, bread (weird?) and praline notes. Initial flavor when it hits the tongue it’s like, “Where the deuce is the flavor?”...but give it a sec. Oily, black pepper, and a rubbery taste on the finish. Not a bad everyday supper/sipper.
