You down with OGD? Yeah you know me!
Hahaha nice one! Okay, this comment is getting pinned at the top. Everyone like it.
Naughty by Nature????
Best comment everrrrrrr!!!!!!
This is $60 where I live! (For three of them)
Poured myself 3 fingers of OGD 114 and sipped along with you. I was right with you Chad with the tea notes. I might make my wife's next Southern Old Fashioned with OGD 114.
Best looking bottle next to weller
One of the best bourbons ever.
I’m sorry, but I’ll admit when I first tasted OGD114 I was disappointed. I always drink my bourbon neat and I swore the finish reminded me of DayQuil! Buuuuuutttt, mama ain’t raise no quitter, lol. After 2-3 weeks it opened up and as I traveled closer to the end of my bottle I wanted less because I wanted to save more. I hope my next bottle will start differently, but we shall see. Cheers everyone
Smart Thomas I was not a fan either. Cracked it and was too hot. 3 weeks later gave it another try. Same result, hot and not enjoyable. 2 oz. out of the bottle, some oxidation and 6 months later I tried it again. Boom. Opened up nicely, heat was tamed and turned into a really good pour.
This is a great bottle
Just starting out as a bourbon collector and enjoyer. Buy within the $20-30 range being a blue collar joe. Any advice on how to build a solid collection? Just bought old grandad today
$22 and change for a 750ml at my neighborhood Total Wine & Spirits.
I always hesitate spending more than $30. OGD 114, WT 101 and OF Rye are all about $25 or less here in KC. All are just delicious neat.
On sale at Gomers in Lenexa this week for 19.99
I love OGD 114, and know that it’s about 1 fancy bottle redesign away from being $50+
Love the price right now, one of the best bangs for the buck
So true!
I have been a fan of this for close to 15 years. For the past 3-4 months it has been impossible to find here in Indianapolis Indiana. Normally you can get anything here. Anyway, finally found some for $26. Love this classic!
20.99 here in madison wi. Steal of the day.
114 proof will get you through stay at home easier😳
Sipping with ice. A bargain for these times. Cheers
Great review. OGD 114 has become one of my absolute essential bourbons, for all the reasons you mention. This is the real, true form of Basil Hayden.
My friend got me this when I found out I was going to be a grandfather....lol....he thought he was being funny. But it was really good!
Basil Fawlty - Fawlty Towers; Darn, another fictional Basil...
Nice! I just picked up a bottle of OGD 114 yesterday to celebrate the passing of April 15th (tax accountant here).
I love OGD114. To me it tastes like someone dropped a few red hot candies in a bottle KCSB
That sounds horrible. ???????
When anyone asks , what's the most underrated bourbon?. This one is my answer.
Cal Cur I go back and forth between OGD114 and WT Rare Breed.
Yeah, I totally agree.....kind of wish they didn't make this video as now more folks will know about it........
Oopsie :)
Or just WT 101!
Definitely one of the most underrated. I think WT 101 is the most underrated especially since I can get it for 18$.
Just picked up a bottle last night curb side at my local store (Indiana). $24 Cheers!
OGD makes the best Old Fashioneds
Basil Rathbone - a real person and the definitive Sherlock Holmes
Exactly what I thought, I’m 34 and my dad had me watching him as Sherlock when I was a kid, Sir Guy in Robin Hood and also and epic antihero in Capt Blood!!
IIRC, he was also in 'Hillbillies in a Haunted House' with Boris Karlof.
This and Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond are the best daily drinkers
How true,you know you have good taste
This is, hands down, my favorite bourbon. I paid $35 for it, I would have paid $50. My biggest gripe with it is that I just can't get it where I am. I've tried talking to various liquor stores and I guess the distributors just won't bring it in.
If this was readily available and $35 there's no question that it would be my daily drinker.
My grandparents house was right across from the original OGD distillery….grew up smelling that mash….great memories
Fun fact folks, Old Grand-Dad 114 has only begun showing up here in Columbus, Oh since COVID-19 closed down the bars and restaurants. Without that outlet, Kroger's is now carrying it for about $30, but they are keeping it behind the counter where you have to ask for it.
I ask. I'm just that brutha. Great review, kids. Sara, you look lovely and that's a very nice sweater you're rocking. Chad, I do believe your voice is getting lower and has more bass in it, but that could just be me.
P.S. I finally cracked open the Wild Turkey Rare Breed and I am certain I just shaved two years off of my liver and life. WHOA, THIS STUFF IS HAWT!!!!!
Old grandad is just wonderful I always keep 2 however wild turkey rye 101 is a close relative except you can drink wt 101 without a great BIG hug
For ~$25, It's tough to beat.
Still around $20 most places here in Texas.
That's awesome!
In my area our Woodman's Grocery store has it for $22 on their website, I have not tried this yet.
Just bought this bottle.... really good.... it is excellent on the rocks.
If i let it sit awhile I get cinnamon, mint, orange peel, sweet tea on the front end and peanut butter and butterscotch on the back end. Lots of cinnamon, mint if i dont let it sit. Havent tried diluting yet
It's $30 in NC, and I consider it the best value bourbon in our stores.
Zachary Robbins 336 in the house!
I’ll agree!
Henry McKenna Single Barrel used to be epic with value and quality , then it won tons of awards a couple years ago...and the price rocketed up and became very hard to come by.
I live in Milwaukee and this is my number 1 value Bourbon. It’s priced here at $20! I love the high rye bourbon. Great review.
I stopped on my way home to get my EW 1786 and seen this OG 114 and got it to try as well. Then I get home to see you just posted a video on it. The timing was Outstanding, i will be trying it tonight. Keep the videos coming.
We try to monitor your purchases to know when to drop certain videos. ;)
Thats hilarious.
@@ItsBourbonNight Calm down Bezos.
Quickly becoming my go to bourbon. I just bought 3 bottles 2 days ago for $22.50 each.
Jim Beam actually did stop production/bottling of OGD114 for 3 months before they changed their mind. That’s why shelves didn’t replenish. Glad they changed their mind. This is in my top 5 everyday bourbons.
Love Old Grand-Dad 114... have 1/4 left and will be picking up more, and the OGD BnB
Oh yeah, there's the famous English actor, Basil Rathbone.
The editing in this episode is even better than usual. I love the quick cuts and the additional crop angles 👍🏼 Very well done
I love high rye/high proof bourbons. High rye bourbons stand up to ice better that anything else. This is a great one for $25-28. These benefit from a little air time. My latest bottle was harsh when I first opened it. I struggled with it down to the shoulder and shelved it for a while. It is delish now. Similar to Belle Meade ask strength at half the price. Cheers!
Just bought my first bottle of ogd114 . Love it on the rocks it stands up then as ice melts the flavors keep changing , my new budget favorite.
One of the best bargin Bourbons out there and will beat out out bottles 2 to 3 it's cost
My first favorite Bourbon. Neat of course.
Oh! Neat that you guys did this one. Just picked one up a few weeks ago on a whim. It is....okay. Not amazing to me. BUT....it makes a mean Old Fashioned! The thing that got me is that it made me really thirsty. Maybe it was a heavy oil or maybe the proof. But it worked okay after pouring it over an ice sphere or making an Old Fashioned
Picked up my second bottle of OGD 114 two weeks ago, going to uncork it tomorrow night, might rewatch this video when I drink this
I would. Then I might watch it a 3rd time. Then I might set it repeat and go to bed. ;)
Great review! I actually bought a bottle a few months ago because of you two talking about it so much. And I picked up for $25.
Just got a bottle of this for $30 at the local Kroger's. It was very hot until I let it rest for about 15 minutes, then those rich notes of dark fruit, caramel, oak, etc. began to shine through on the nose. Taste was similar with a lingering cinnamon/spice finish.
We have two bottles of OGD114 in our cabinet and we love it. Neat and in one of our favorite bourbon cocktails!
Let's play a game of creeper or grandpa... 😂
All three OGD's are fantastic! By far the biggest bang for the buck on all 3! All are great sippers and make for awesome cocktails. Oh how I love me an OGD Old Fashioned!
Absolutely fantastic!!
Recently had this for the first time. I like it and think it's a great value!!
Old Grand Dad BIB is ok but kind of blah, to me. Also the Jim Beam funk seems more prominent in the lower proofed OGDs. The 114 has a pop and a lengthy finish that set it apart in the lineup. I agree that it's best left at full proof (neat). It's hard to find a good high proof bourbon or any kind of high proofed whisk(e)y for $30 or less. My local big box liquor store has Maker's Mark barrel proof for $38 right now, but I'm not a huge wheated bourbon fan. If anyone can tell me that it's altogether a different experience over regular Maker's (which to me is blah), then I might give it a try.
$38 is steal for MM Cask Strength, for our area, at least. We aren't fans of the 90 proof MM at all, but we really like the C.S. I would say go for it!
I’ll agree with you. I’ve tried several bottles of the OGDBIB and just don’t care for it, while the OGD114 is a favorite. While the entire OGD/Basil Hayden lineup shares the same mashbill, OGD114 and Basil Hayden go in the barrel at a lower proof than OGD80 & OGDBIB. That could be the difference for me.
OGD is plain and simple, good shit.
Just bought a bottle of this earlier tonight, so perfect timing that I just discovered your video. Anxious to try it!
Proof, price, and flavor....winner! A personal favorite.
One of my favorite bourbons. Especially in a manhattan.
One of my favorite bourbons at any price.
Absolutely our favorite for Old Fashion's yummy 😋
OGD 114 or Old Ezra 7 yr 117 proof? (nice shirt Chad)
Humm, that's a good question. We'll have to do a side-by-side. And thanks!
Just bought four bottles at a local store. It's become difficult to find here in Bloomington, MN. I've got a buddy in WI who can't find it anymore where he lives. He's taking three bottles, I'm keeping one. $30 for one bottle up in MN as of March 2023.
OGD114 is by far one the best attainable bourbons today and is criminally overlooked. I'm glad as it's one of my daily sippers for the past 3 years and it'll be shame when it goes up in price.
I have been drinking OGD BIB for years. I never had 114 before tonight. My friends told me,You have got to try a 114 old fashioned. I like it but I have to say. Sipping it. I get a cherry cola. Chocolate cherry off of it. Outside of the cinnamon of course. I think this is a Bourbon that hits higher than it's price point
Thanks for the video. I concur with your review. OGD 114 is super rare where we live in the Atlanta area. Its not stocked in stores near us. I’ve only seen it in one store in N GA about 45 miles from our house. I’ve picked up six bottles so far; only two left. Just finished a bottle a few minutes prior to finding your video.
Just got my first bottle tonight and WOW! So much character! Gonna put it up against Belle Meade Reserve and OF 1920 in our bourbon tasting group tomorrow. Can't wait!
I get that peanut butter all day! Great review
I was nosing and tasting while you were, and it helped me to pick up the nuances, I nosed citrus (lemon) and what I thought was green apple till you said tea and I agree it is tea. you do get honey on the (nose) front end, and when tasting it got stronger with each sip, you definitely get the pepper from the rye too and it has a very mild ethanol smell considering the proof. You sure do get a Kentucky hug when it goes down but it's a pleasant hug, not a strangle hold like the bottle of Very Old Barton 100 I bought did. This would make a great utility bourbon for when Im mixing equal parts flavored whiskeys with this to kick up the ABV a notch.
Thanks for the review and 🥃Cheers.
OGD It’s like that guy in high school who played open chest with you and hit you like 25% too hard
minor flood ( 1 inch)..i see a bottle of 114 o pen 1989..and a bottle of crown 1977..still with the paper tape unopened..nice day
Way to much cinnamon flavor and is way too strong with a burn A/K/A KY hug as it goes down. Thought I like it and haven't had a bottle in 8-10 months so I bought another bottle and discovered it's not in the flavor profile I prefer. Price point is good and it may be much better in a cocktail.
Higher proof or older age statement? I think I like the older aged bourbon.
Mr. G I’m a sucker for high proof
Proof pretty easily. Of course there are exceptions to all rules but I'll take a 6 year old 110+ proof whiskey over a 15 yr old 90 proof(or less) whiskey just about every time.
Yeah, usually higher proof, as long as we aren't dipping below about 5 to 6 years, generally.
Never had OGD just picked up a bottle for $24.99 here in central NY, cheers!
i got this for 27 bucks
What a beautiful couple in all demensions love your straight forward knowledgeable show Old grand dad is lovely and on a very cold day healing after being in the cold all day great bourbon
The presentation just doesn't do it for me.. I'm sure it's respectable juice, just don't feel urged to purchase it
This is my go to for under $25.
"I got me a queenie she got long brown curly hair
She likes to drink old grandad and her shoes do shuffle around"
My wife got me a bottle because I have been going through root canal hell lately. I killed my bottle about a year ago and haven't been able to find a new one. My wife got one for me from total wine for 27.99 and I am very happy. I haven't popped it yet but i remember it being very peanutty and a good proof. Excited to see if I can find more notes noe thay I have gotten further into the journey if you will hahaha
Old Grand Dad is up to 35$ at my local store, but its still the best 35$ I have.
3 years after the video I just picked up a bottle for $22
Just picked up a bottle for 22.99 not on sale.
It's $20 a bottle here. But I don't want to say where "here" is. 🤐
I got banana at the end of it i get a lot of banana and marshmallow and bananas fosters like flavors in high rye mash bills.
I picked up a bottle of this for around $30 here in Virginia a few months back.
I agree with you guys it brings the heat, but doesn't have much going for it in flavor. I drank it neat, but may have to try it with some water to see if it helps with the flavor.
Not to go on a "mouth feel" tangent, but it seems OGD 114 is very thin. It didn't seem to have alot of body to it. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't know if that's an accurate description for other folks.
Yeah it's not super complex. Didn't get an oily "mouth feel" either, but it didn't seem thin to us. If anything it's a unique (and since unique can sometimes mean bad, in this instance we mean good) tasting Bourbon.
My bottle has been sitting for a while. Maybe it's changed up some since then.
It’s a good daily drink; there are better bourbons, but they cost twice as much.
It's $32.99 in Alabama at the ABC store.

Basil Rathbone😊
Old grand dad aka Sir Basil would kick y’all’s ass!
One of the best values in bourbon. Great daily pour
I get lots of peanut butter on this and I love it!
I just uncorked my first bottle last night!
Basil Rathbone , sherlock holmes actor
Basil from Austin Powers is the only one I know of as well!
I just opened a bottle of this a few days ago. So far I've only had it neat. I like it a lot!
This or knob creek 9 year? I LOVEEEEEE Knob Creek 9 year.......trying to find something similar for a cheaper price as a everyday drink. I like to have 2 drinks to end the day...
Knob 9 was on sale for 23 where I live three other day I shoulda picked up more than one.
I have tried it yet but to be honest haven’t really seen it out here at my stores in Sacramento...
It’s a winner.
Chad, the side glance killed me!
My favorite $30 bottle for sure!
I only smell gasoline🤔
Basil Rathbone.
