OLD GRAND-DAD 86 proof ( DSP KY. 14 )

Nose:

Dry woodsmoke. A faint echo of tobacco.

Palate:

Starts off dry then develops a magnificently refined sweetness. Exquisitely textured. Short burts of pepper in the background.

Finish:

Spicy oak mixed with natural sweet toffee.

Comment:

Not the current Jim Beam product. This is from the defunct Old Grand-Dad distillery in Frankfort. A sad loss, heavily accentuated by the fact that this is not even a premium whiskey.

Rating: 8,5/10
