Old Grand-Dad 114 Single Barrel (Lot 001), 57%

Price: 50 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Shane English ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Nutty and bold on the nose; it’s approachable despite its high proof. With a swirl in the glass, peanuts, almonds, and pecans mix with vanilla frosting, fudge, and cloves, creating a warm, welcoming aroma. On the palate, the nuttiness sweetens with waves of vanilla bean, caramel apple, and marzipan. The finish shows a hint of the higher proof and lasts long with cinnamon spice and faint oak.
