Old Grand-Dad Kentucky Straight Bourbon (75cl, 40%)

Old Grand-Dad is a Kentucky straight bourbon in a 75cl bottle, bottled at 80 proof. It is known for a high-rye mash bill, which gives it a peppery rye spice rather than a heavy, syrupy sweetness, balanced by soft vanilla and light oak. The nose is light, with cinnamon, sweet vanilla and sharp rye spice. The palate is crisp and spicy, with peppery rye first, then warm caramel, toasted oak and a touch of sweet fruit. The finish is clean, of medium length and warming, with lingering spice and a hint of sweet corn.
