$28 for me. So, that knocks it down a few pegs in my book. I need to go back to it. The first couple times I had it a couple of years ago, it didn't leave much of a lasting impression. But, I think my palette has probably changed since then. Time to give it another go.

I need to find OGD BiB. I have OGD 114, and I sadly just can't get into it. I want to, because it's a proper value buy, but... while I love the nose, the rest just lets me down, and I believe some folks that tell me there's tasty juice in the OGD line. I want to see how it sits at 100, because at 114, it just doesn't land well on my tongue.

This Bottled In Bond series is interesting, but with respect I wish to say that the elimination process may be flawed in that one episode's #2 pick might have beat out a different episode's #1 pick, if each selection match ups had been a different "random" grouping of four. Consequently, we may be missing out on the top four "best of" final eliminations. It may be useful to conclude this series with a sixth episode where each of the #2's are bumped up against the overall top #1 pick. Just sayin'... Thanks for your great videos!

I was pretty sure from the description that A was Old Grand Dad bonded, not because I know anything but because the butterscotchery description reminded me of the Werther's note of Old Overholt which, like OGD, is an old National Distillers brand new made by Beam Suntory. Both OGD and OO have mash bills that are different from the Beam mash bills (OGD is a very high rye bourbon and OO is a rye), and it makes sense to preserve the brands' original flavor profiles for marketing purposes.

@@chu88y1 first, at least in Ohio, 1910 and 1920 are $55 and $65 whiskies, respectively. 1910 is under 100 proof and quite “sweet”, so I’d say you’re good with respect to heat. 1920 is 115 proof, so it might be. But, of course, you could just add an ice cube (one made with filtered water) and give it a minute to melt and dilute the bourbon a little or even just add a few drops of water. But I’d sure give it a shot neat before you even take that route.

I was a bit surprised with my tasting notes on this bottle so I revisited the next day. I recognized the orange note up front but mid to back palate def had some butterscotch. My advice if you get a bottle is enjoy a pour or two than let sit for a while to open up. Makes for a nice mixer as well.

HH 7yr BiB is also one of my all time favorites, but when I read other's opinions online, many people don't seem to care for it; which also makes me wonder why so many stores charge way above MSRP around me in Atlanta, GA, but the same stores will charge MSRP on other popular bottles that sell out frequently. It should be $40, no more than $45, but lately I see it commonly priced at $55. One shop had the nerve to charge $65! I only buy it when I see it under $45, and stock up.

When I line up various bourbons or whiskeys and I drink them in sequence I lose certain elements of them and especially if is high proof. I think if you really want to get a "scientific" value assessment you have to do them spread out without taking any other drinks before. I would be curious if you experience the same thing so for example maybe dont include this in a video but do it another day or before the shoot. Do the blind taste test with an hour two in between each tasting and write your notes down for each tasting. Then do it again with all 4 on the same video and see if you get the same notes (randomize them each time though so you dont just remember what you wrote). So example it would look like this - Day 1 - Bottle A at 1200 take notes. Bottle B at 1300 take notes, Bottle C at 1400 take notes, Bottle D at 1400 take notes. Day 2 switch up the bottles so the Bottle D from Day 1 is now Bottle B etc. Do the sequential tasting and give out your tasting notes. See how much the match up with the previous day. If they match up you are not being impacted by your tasting. If they dont match up then you are being impacted by the alcohol and pallette condition. They do this in sommelier training and I think it transitions well. I found when I did it none of them matched up to my sequential testing except the first taste.

I have to admit that does sound like a very efficient way to go about proper whiskey tasting and do not doubt for a second that this method would provide great results. Unfortunately, Trent and I both work quite a bit so time would be the biggest issue. I do like your train of thought here though!

Gotta love blind taste tests. Lose the label and and you lose the preconceptions, and expectations, that come with that label. Suddenly you’re at the mercy of your taste buds, not your eyes. Great episode!

I don't recall Old Grand Dad having so sweet a flavor. But truth be told, once I had OGD 117, I never went back to bottled in bond.

Honestly, I went back to this bottle the next day because I was a bit surprised myself. My bottle has been opened for a while and it really has developed over time. I find some bourbons open up better than others but this bottle is amazing!

This is shocking to me! I was just trying to see if you guys had any videos on Heaven Hill BIB. I finally got a bottle and expected it to be overrated and overhyped and am shocked it’s the best bottle I’ve had yet. Granted, there are many I haven’t had. But, it beats out Rare Breed, Blanton’s, OF 1897 by far for me. And the only bottle of OGD BIB I have has very little flavor. It’s such a one noter. I am shocked by the results of this one! I feel like the OGD and HH must have somehow gotten mixed up 🤣

It would be interesting to see old tub up against ogd bib. I'm not sure if sazerac's version of early times bib has hit shelves yet but I tried a liter recebtly after hearing a few recommendations from slb bourbon basement bar and it's so good. The maple nose that comes off the of early times bib is incredible! All of these bottles have incredible value in them for the price.

The new Sazerac version has DSP #12 on the back which is Barton Distillery and the bottle has a metal rather than plastic screw cap. I just got my first new version bottle last weekend though haven't opened it yet. I still have half of an older version left and I plan on doing a blind side by side. I've heard the newer version is a bit of a disappointment compared to the old B-F version. Let's hope it's not. 🤞
