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
