I finally remembered to try this at a family gathering this weekend and having tried OG 100 first it somewhat influenced my taste for the version of Old Grand-Dad 86. This is not a bad drink and at this price point, it is a good deal as well. It can be found nearly anywhere and the quality is really consistent across the line. Sadly, however, it is not as good to me as the Bottled-in-Bond version. The color in the glass is to light like an iced tea, not a bourbon. It does coat the glass some but it is too watery. Sipped neat it was light and with oak, vanilla, and something spicey. The body was different more corn (almost like 13th Colony Corn Whiskey) with oak and vanilla rounding out the short body. The finish was brief and sweet with an aftertaste of bitterness. Several members of my family like this bourbon and not the BiB version and I am the opposite and that is fine like what you want to like and share what you have and know. I do keep in mind that this is an extremely inexpensive bottle and it can be found almost everywhere.
