Tasting Notes

Old Grand-Dad 114 Bourbon is a high-proof Kentucky straight bourbon made with a high-rye mashbill, offering bold flavor and intensity. The nose opens with aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey layered with rye spice, citrus peel, and toasted oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust, delivering flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, cocoa, and cinnamon balanced by pepper, clove, and herbal rye notes. The high proof brings warmth and depth while keeping the texture smooth and velvety. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of caramel, oak, and spice.
