NOSE
This bourbon has some hair on its chest. Immediately you’re hit with cinnamon, brown sugar and rye heat. Old Grand-Dad line is known for their above-average amount of rye in their mashbill compared to other bourbons. This is very evident on its nose. Fainter hints of orange peel and spice also tag along for the ride.
PALATE
Fruity but very firm. The rye character is present along with a decent amount of alcohol that at times can get in the way of the flavor. This bourbon commands all of your attention and then some.
FINISH
A full bodied finish that lets you know it’s there. It’s certainly one of the more stronger tasting bourbons out there. The long finish reveals almost a candied aftertaste with red hot cinnamon being very present. The bourbon does seem to enjoy a few extra minutes out of the bottle as it becomes a bit easier to go down.
UNIQUENESS
The bourbon’s high-rye mashbill makes for an interesting pour. As bourbon blends become ever more popular, this comes off as a more serious entry. It takes its namesake seriously by tasting like a stiff drink your grandfather would have sipped on. This is a manly, to-the-point bourbon that prides itself from separating the men from the boys.
