I could've swore I had this and the BiB reviewed on here, but it seems I only ever published the regular OGD mainstay... time to fix that! OGD is to bourbon what Volvo is to cars--reliable and simple. 114 is definitely the 'grown-up' choice in the line. The 80 proof is available widely and cheaply, the bottled in bond is considered by many to be the best cheap bourbon out there. 114 is the more 'premium' of the three but is still usually a very reasonable $26-32usd most places. Factoring in the proof makes it a steal of a deal. The nose is fantastic. Sweet menthol, licorice, wild berries, RICH spice. Palate is oozing with fun things to lead your tongue around due to the high proof. If you can resist the temptation to pound fat shots of this and have the discipline to smack it on your tongue and mouth a few times you'll get the traditional Kentucky sweetness (corn, cinnamon red hots) in a remarkably sip-worthy profile. Smoooooooth. The mouth is balanced and as a result makes the liquid itself versatile for whatever application you desire. I sipped it neat for review purposes, but I typically take it in a shot glass with a small splash of water. Going down this does NOT seem as high proof as it is. Water turns it from a respectable dram into dangerously easy drinking. Brings out some sweet wood and makes the finish even more dangerously smooth than it is out of the bottle. On the taste scale its low 80s.. maybe a 81.5 Value wise it's in a class all it's own. I usually keep it around to make sure I dont open any of my special bottles and it definitely does that job well.
