Old Grand -Dad 1882 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey -750ml

Tasting Notes

Nose: Scents of Snickerdoodle cookies and caramel candies combine with nutmeg and vanilla. Well-developed tannins like seasoned oak and charred wood fill my nostrils. There's a richness that is hard to describe, but is something close to a sweet cream. Breadfruit and toasted orange peel provide some fruit characteristics, but otherwise I was expecting a little bit more in that category.

Palate: I don't think that many people would immediately guess that this is a Beam product if they were given it blind. It's character doesn't immediately point to any existing Kentucky bourbon on the market. Each sip reveals toasted sugars, caramelized fruits and a spicy rye character that gives off equal parts hot cinnamon and dehydrated herbs. Vanilla bean hides in the background, but adds subtlety.
