Whisk(e)y Vault reviews OCD#5 Glenn Creek Distilling

[@davidmeier1811]

Hi guys, thanks for posting the review. We are glad you enjoyed the OCD #5 Bourbon. Barrel 39 that you had was a barrel pick by Red Dog Wine & Spirits in Franklin TN. We don't bottle based on age so we never know exactly how old a barrel will be when we bottle it so the age statement (2 years) is typically much less than actual. Most barrels are around 3 to 3 1/2 years now. Our new label says aged at least 3 years. OCD could stand for many things. Most popular is Old Cranky Dave (me) and Obsessive Compulsive Distillers, but we have many possible options.

[@levyweasel3676]

David is there a way to get a bottle in the Central Ohio area?

@@richardmcfall6597 You are absolutely correct. David the master distiller confirmed this for us on our visit there.

[@merklitl]

This place does fantastic tours too - when we went, during the tour we were instructed to stir some mash and barrel some new make! Zero pretentiousness there and damn fine liquor!!

[@JoshuaKoch]

I've tried just about everything they produce, but OCD #5 is one my favorites. Great distillers, and it's a great experience to go visit.

[@MichaelJ-fn5pl]

Cool Distillery to visit you even get to help fill a barrel then sign it. The ruins of Old Crow Distillery are beautiful as well.

[@spectraman]

Michael J those guys were super cool it was a fun tour.

[@FSAS]

Glad to see you guys finally get to this. I love what they're doing, you all should try some of their other stuff. Some of which is sourced, but in a good way. - Patrick

This is my favorite bourbon by a mile. Thanks for reviewing this, I wouldn't have picked up this bottle had I not seen this review.

[@thehardproof]

Hey guys! Thanks for the fantastic review of Barrel 39. We actually helped pick that barrel with Red Dog Wine and Spirits. It was an amazing experience and John and Dave at Glenns Creek are legit! Great people and great bourbon! Super stoked that you guys enjoyed it so much. Cheers! 🥃

[@thomasaccuntius9946]

I know I have watched this video before, but dont know if I commented. I have been to Glenns Creek Distillery. It looks like a bombed out building....BUT its a unique distillery. The last time I was there David Meier Signed a bottle of OCD#5 for me 10-24-19 118.8 proof and I was the only one there, I got a one on one tour and tasting from him. Remarkable, and I have been to most of the Distillery's in Ky. Keep it on and going David.

[@BEER2WHISKEY]

I agree with their enthusiasm for this bourbon. I've had a bottle in my collection for a couple of years. Typically I'm not a fan of the higher-proof bourbons, but a drop or two of water and I'm all over this one. I shot an interview with the distiller David Meier a couple of years ago and found him to be an innovator, as well as an accomplished chemist. He is also a risk taker of skydiving levels. Glenns Creek, by the way, is not on the official Bourbon Trail, but is only a mile or two from distilleries that are. When in that area, be sure to drop by. David leads many of the tours himself and his is the most informative distillery tour I've experienced. And, I've been on a lot of them. And, yes, OCD is for Old Crow Distillery. David bought the distillery, but the Old Crow name wasn't included. Cheers!

[@GunGuy258]

Glenn's Creek is the prettiest scenery of all the distilleries you could visit. I live in Frankfort and love cruising my Motorcycle through that are and stop at The Stave to eat and grab a beer.

[@EverythingSpicy]

Just bought a bottle from Mr. Whiskers in Nashville. I hope it’s good.

[@PhilD-v5n]

Just had the OCD#5 by chance from a friend that found it at a tasting show. Amazing! Full body, sweet front and great flavor from the barrel. Awesome bourbon. Very different and so easy to sip and enjoy. Well done. Get a hold of this if you can...checked online and doesn't seem to be an easy find.

[@LupusFerus]

Some of the best bourbon I've had. The folks at the distillery were very awesome as well

[@chrisbritt5241]

Well damn! I was going to send in a bottle of this to the Guys. I found this last year in our hotel bar in Frankfort while doing the bourbon trail. Found the distillery and bought three bottles. Went back this year and bought two more. I get strong taste of raisins along with what they got. I also bought a bottle of their Cuervito vivo. It use’s the wild yeast and the mash bill of the original old crow that they got from the last superintend of the old crow distillery before it closed. Its pretty good . They are just down the road from Castle & Key by a 1/2 to a mile. They are about two down Glenns Creek from Woodford Reserve. If any of you MB hit the trail you should visit them.

[@davidmeier1811]

Glad you like the OCD and Cuervito Vivo Chris. We have started production on a wheated bourbon named "Swheat" and a 100% corn bourbon named "A Maize-ing COB (corn only bourbon) Distilled by the Lone Grainger"

[@davidcummings6909]

Did you notice that the bottle was signed. Dave signs the bottles if you request. This is must stop distillery for those that know. Don't be concerned by the building as I thought it was just a loading dock. First time at Glenns Creek I left the family in the car and went in to make sure I was at the correct place. I found Dave running the fork truck and he treated me to a great tour and sampling. Spent an hour at the big distiller down the road. Spent the whole afternoon at Glenn's Creek. Make sure you pick up what you want before you leave as Glenn's Creek product is hard to find and in high demand. I will be heading back to Glenn's Creek from Wisconsin this April for my third visit and restock.

[@davidmeier1811]

Hi David, thanks for the comments. We are in the Woodman's stores in Wisconsin with OCD #5, Stave + Barrel, and Ryskey Rye. You may have to ask the store for it as they are getting stock now. Good luck.

[@lukevalitchka74]

It’s 3 yrs. since this Vault episode was posted, & I picked up the last bottle of OCD #5 on the shelf of my fave green bay liquor store today. I listened to this vault review to inform my buying decision. Mine is btl. 21 from bbl. 89 @ 107.8 pf. Really love the color, aromas, & taste. Great & pleasant hang time on the taste. Thank you, Glenn’s Creek! Delicious!

[@curtishoffmann6956]

"They're equally dense." The whiskys, editing/mixing, or the channel hosts?

[@5SpotReview]

Visited Glenn's Creek on a hot July afternoon a few summers ago, and met the craftsmen behind the label. Had a blast. Tasted a lot of "test batches." Lots of 'em. Did I mention we had a blast? Got an autographed bottle of OCD #5. Savored every drop. Highly recommended!

[@giovanic2381]

My friend and I did a motorcycle bourbon tour last year. A bartender in town told us we had to check them out. They were bottling at the time bickering like an old married couple. It turned out to be our favorite stop. The let us taste everything. I only had enough room in my saddlebags for one bottle. I will be back for more. One of the most complex and enjoyable whiskeys I've ever had.

[@davidmeier1811]

LOL Giovani, we spend more time together than we spend with our significant others so I guess we are kind of like a married couple! (but maybe happier?) Glad you like the OCD. Come back soon. We have some new stuff and still bickering!

[@WrestlingWithSpirits]

I was out on a lunch date with my wife this past weekend and the bar/restaurant we went too had some scotch on the menu. So I ordered a pour of glenlivet. When the waiter was bringing it to me he noticed that there was a bunch of floaters. He went back to look and see if they had a new bottle of glenlivet and came back holding Chivas Regal 12. So I decided why not! I'm going to preface this by saying up until this point I've super new to whiskey and I really haven't been able to pick out many different things I'm tasting in a whiskey besides ethanol lol but this time the stars aligned and the whiskey gods said this was my time! I knew from watching every single tribe and vault video that my time would come. So I patiently waited. I was so unbelievably excited when I tasted apples, butterscotch, and vanilla! Praise be the whiskey gods for this blessing! Lmao SKAL you MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS! 🥃

[@lancestoops975]

Saw this video not too long ago. Drove 45 min to check it out...this place is legit. Very unique flavoring and head distiller was there to give samples and insight on it all. Worth checking out. Stave and barrel single barrel is excellent. Their rye may be the best one I’ve had, personally. Just down the road from Woodford reserve & castle and key. Funny thing about OCD # 5, we tried 2 samples from 2 different barrels and they didn’t even taste the same. SB’s have the own flavor profile, but this was wildly different. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nathanrosado5606]

So cool to find out Daniel rock climbs!

[@kiloton1920]

[@kbirridia]

Watching for a couple of months, now a Patron. Thanks guys! Two questions about sending in whiskies: 1) are you boys drowning in contributions or are you vaguely keeping up? :) 2) I have a 1970 and a 1972 Glenfarclas, bottled in 2011ish, that I got when I visited Scotland. I think their flavor profiles (not fantastic, spoiler alert) might be good examples of "isn't older whisky always better". Would you guys want samples of these?

[@tommccafferty5591]

That was one of the better episodes in a while, (although all the episodes are good.)

[@kbirridia]

Just added this one to my expanding list of to-trys. Also, you guys need to try the Compass Box "The Spaniard". I got a bottle as a gift from former co-workers and it's fan freaking tasting. Probably my favorite CB so far.

[@kbirridia]

Also, I managed to snag a Red Spot from K&L. Taste the Spaniard after a dram of Red Spot, it's very interesting going from a bit of a Sherry bomb to the Compass Box. IMHO, void where prohibited. ;)

I had the displeasure of drinking this stuff a few days ago.. I was SO blown away at how incredibly horrible it was, I had to try it again yesterday.. I just.. I can't. I know everybody has their own pallets and preferences.. but man. Barrel 45, bottle 16something. Buddy brought it back after a distillery tour not long ago. Said it was an great tour and everybody there was amazing. He was visibly upset that we both considered it undrinkable.

[@davidmeier1811]

Sorry to hear you did not like OCD #5. As you say everyone likes something different. Barrel 45 was a bit unusual as I recall but we always taste test with visitors and several people said it was great. Funny thing, your friend would have sampled that barrel at the distillery as we sample the barrel we have to sell, so not sure why he bought it if he didn't like it? Try another barrel and see if you like it any better. In the mean time bring barrel 45 in and I will gladly exchange it for something to your liking.

[@crackerbat]

@@davidmeier1811 We are a good 7 hours away, appreciate the offer though. I think we'd keep the 45 anyway, it's been interesting to get reactions from people with. I'm sure my friend was deep into a few pours by the time he got to you guys :) I will for sure track down a bottling from a different barrel . It happens, I had a bottle of Tayler Small Batch that was one of the best bourbons I've ever had. Up here it's pretty hard to find so we hunted for months to find another bottle, finally got our hands on one a month or so ago and it's barely ok, lol.
