Finally trying the base OGD. The OGD114 is one of my favorite whiskies on the planet, but I find the Bonded just "OK". Let's see what I think of this one. NOSE: Orange Peel, Cedar, Straw, Old Oak, and maybe a hint of a Floral note. The more time it spends in the glass, the more the Cedar note takes charge. NEAT: Thin, muted delicate flavors. The Orange Peel from the nose. Vanilla, Cinnamon, Leather and Oak. Pleasantly Spicy. Not much of a Kentucky Hug but there is a pleasant finish with Orange and Oak coating. The more you sip the more the Oak accumulates on the palate, positively affecting subsequent sips. SPLASH: Gives and almost Maple note to the nose and the palate becomes pure Maple Syrup. Tames what little spiciness there is. A large cube of ice kills this one completely. Drink it neat, folks. VERDICT: I like this. I hate I waited so long to try it. It would be a solid 3.75 from me but I feel it is overpriced (Just shy of $20 here, though it was on sale for $17) and does not stand up to ice and that is how I consume a lot of cheaper bourbons...glass in hand at the grill. I'd still say that if you were in the mood for an 80 proofer, you could do a lot worse.
