Old Grand-Dad 114 Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed
March 14, 2023 (edited June 23, 2023)
Overall: A solid $30 spent. Is it a show stopper? No: It could certainly use some more time in the barrel... I'm glad it didnt though. This allows people to taste and experiment with a BP bourbon and not shell out a Benjamin. The experience it gave me was very much an old movie theatre vibe; with the buttered popcorn nose, and finish. The toffee and vanilla mixed in with a hit at the front like a frosty coke. It is Americana. Nostalgia bottled at a proof that will leave you feeling as empty as the movie theatres did.
Nose: Movie theatre popcorn stand. The mixture of the butter and some on the bottom bordering on burned.
Palate: light mouth feel. Hot flash of cinnamon up front followed by waves of vanilla confectionary, and toffee.
Finish: medium. A buttery popcorn flavor pops in, and intermingles wirh flashes of the vanilla confectionary.

@ekenobi @Robert_McKay as a side note, the the Standard issue OGD and the OGD Bonded share a barrel entry proof while the stocks used for OGD114 & Basil Hayden go in at a lower barrel entry proof. To me the OGD 114 blows the doors off the Bonded and I think that is why. If you told me tomorrow that I was allergic to every bourbon but OGD 114, I'd say I was definitely okay with that.
I like the bonded too. The 114 is just a hair younger, but its undiluted, do chances are you'd really enjoy it
I like the bonded, which is 14 proof points lower, but I've never seen the 114 on the shelf here. Total Wine has listed it out of stock for months on end, now.
Great review.
