little hot but a good value

The 100 proof is great but the 86 proof has its own strong and distinctive taste. I like it.

The 100 proof Old Grandad tastes like brown kerosine! Shun this!

Nastiest thing on this earth, and I am a whisky/bourbon kind of girl! Wild turkey is where its at.

OGD is currently distilled by http://www.jimbeam.com/

Tried the 80 or 86 proof, whatever the lower end boubon is. Not one I would drink straight up. Good mixer though as it has big flavor doesn't disappear in the mix. Want to try the 100 proof or better but haven't seen it locally. Update: Have tried the 100 proof AKA Bottled in Bond OGD. Good stuff. Raised my rating for the 100 proof to 4 stars in part due to the value. The flavor profile is a bit stilted compared to some of the designer whisky available in todays marketplace but the flavor is very good. Smooth for a 100 as well. (12-04-08)

this is good if you can not get wild turkey this is next best !!!

This shit works great for soaking your feet in after a long, hard days work. No more yellow toenails and goodby foot odor.

In my early 20's I worked at a Liquor Store. I tried all kinds of whiskey, but when I tried OLD GRAND DAD, I said, "Whoe, that taste different and good! I'm 61 years old now and it's still my favorite.

Old Grand Dad has one of the most unique flavors in the bourbon market. It is a like it or hate it beverage and I like it. Pay the extra cash for the 100 proof BIB for the best OGD experience.

100 proof bonded is as a good a sippin bourbon you can get for $16.00 per fifth.

Does anyone know if OLD GRANDAD has an web site? I can't find one cause I have to ask them, WHY DON'T THEY SHIP THERE WHISKEY TO MAUI, HAWAII?
Do any of you people know what its like to drink anything other than OLD GRANDAD for two weeks? Painful, I did and I won't ever go back to Hawaii unless it's shipped there or I take it there myself.
My wife & I started to drink this fine whiskey about 30 years ago & we haven't left. "Whiskey glass filled with ice, filled with OLD GRANDAD with just a splash of Coke". Never had a hangover in the morning but I have still felt drunk. MY DRINK FOREVER!

flavor was ok, not very clean, will give bad hangover. Go with crow for same price.

I used to sneak a drink or two out of my grandfathers supply in the 1940s. I've been drinking it ever since and I'm 78 now and still kicking.B. Carroll, I rate it as one of the best. Five stars

Damn Fools just can't understand. Bonded 100 proof Old Grand Dad. It breathes with real Whiskey breath. Sure, buy a smooth mellow sweet premium taste you can rave on about. That's fine & dandy and variety is the spice of life. To me when you just call out to the bar keep for a shot of Bourbon. Old Grand Dad speaks loud & proud about true value & taste. Folks have relented to losing the significance of drinking some good Ole pure Kentuck. Sum it up, Old Grand Dad Bonded ain't for sissies.

Second best I have ever had.

Old Grandad Bonded 100 Proof cannot be beat for the price. Add a dash of water, over ice, or  mixed. There is a little fire in this rye bourbon if you sip it neat. I'd give it 5 stars for value.

This was my dad's drink of choice. Everytime I see a bottle of Old Grand Dad I think of him. Cheers! (wherever you are)

I've bin drenkin old gran dad for 50 yeers now. i ternd 59 yeers old yestereday. I hav sirosis of the livur. th shit catch you on far to.

I am a total OGD 100prf convert. I recently took a flight and had Jack Daniels. I was amazed at the medicinal aftertaste. In Mass I can get OGD 100 for 16.99. My opinion is that nothing (not Makers, Knob or Turkey) can even come close to the smoothness of OGD.

Nothing beats the 114 proof OGD. I introduced my college buddies to it, and now I have to bring shipments back from home.

I am a bourbon drinker and have tried most of the Kentucky boubons and and my favorite is 100 proof Old Grand Dad. If has more flavor than the 86 proof or the 114 proof. Try it .

86 Proof for a reasonable price. Old Grand Dad is well worth it!

After a night of hammerin on the Grand Dad I lit a toilet seat on fire on my stove. The house was filled with smoke and the FD came, but aside from the near death experience, I would definitely recommend Old Grand Papy to anyone, of any age.

This was my old man's bourbon. He'd be 66 this year, left us in 2000. The dude was a class act. I found this site while searchin' and found it entertaining.

In the Netherlands there is a foundation of grand-dad golfers with the name Old Grand-Dad Club. Each year we honour the winners of a couple of tournaments with a bottle of Old Grand-Dad Bourbon. So it must be the best.

My rating takes into account the cost. I buy OGD at Rite-Aid for $5.99 on sale. At that price, nothing touches it. A terrific mixer as well.

I am the biggest Old Grand Dad fan of them all. Not you! I have the logo tattoed on me forehead and I peel and stick all the labels on my car windows. I make and sell jewelry from the lids. You should see my collection of bottles, just drive by my mom's house and look in my window. They should let you buy OGD with stamps, because it replaces meals. Also, my kids need to buy some more, I am out. Spill a little down your collar, smells better than Aquo Velvet. A complex, refined and elegant blended beverage for sophisticated gentlemen like mine own. Cheers.

Don't judge by the bottom of the line, work your way up. I like the 86 proof until I tried the 100 proof. Then I made the mistake of trying the 114, fish on. Once you have had the 114 your hooked.

In a nut shell medium grade bourbon at a miiddle of the road price. Cut my bourbon teeth on OGD. Has it's own taste and fairly smooth. Worth the price if you don't want to step it up a notch to the Turkeys, Maker's and Knobs.

Lol,your family has to be proud.

I've been drinking OGD for 30 years now. I won't drink anything else. You haven't tied one on until you tied one on with Old Grand Dad! I'm 50 years old and just got the OGD label tatooed on my shoulder. Now there's a dedicated OGD drinker!

86 proof -- not good.

Okay, so some reviews rave and some hate it. The truth is that it's probably right in between. Alot like Al Gore, promising, but ultimately kind of boring.

Drank half a fifth of the 100 proof in one night. Great stuff. Sweet and smooth, especially for something this potent. But totally felt like sh*t the next day. And not just in the morning, the entire day. SO, drink it responsibly in moderation, and it is a gem at roughly $18.00 for the 100 proof.

Not great, but distinctly sweet... have to give it points for having a unique taste. The sweet tint makes it really stand out amongst bourbons. Not harsh at all; an easy swallow. (Haven't tried 100 proof, just the regular.)

I really enjoy my bourbon, I prefer Maker's Mark, and Woodford Reserve. I also enjoy Mcallan single malt scotch. Though I felt that I would try some Old Grand Dad, since a friend had offered it to me and his advice had always been reliable. Though I must say that the 86 proof is total garbage. It is the most heinous whiskey I have ever tasted and the finish on it left me with an I vomited in my mouth a little taste. I will, however, try the 100 proof, just to make sure that I am not leaving any stones unturned. Otherwise, if you are planning on purchasing a bottle of 86 proof, use it as a testament to what horrible whiskey tastes like.

i'm 69 and have been drinking Old Grand Dad since I was 21. I drink it straight--with only 1 ice cube.

Old Grand Dad is an excellent non small batch bourbon. Many of the uninformed look at the orange label and think it is rought gut whiskey. Oh contre', this is a very smooth bourbon. I have drank almost every quality bourbon out there; Buffalo Trace, Makers Mark, Rip Van Winkle, Knob Creek, Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve but I always return to Old Grand Dad. Yea you yuppies stick with your designer Vodkas in the fancy over priced bottles and I'll stick with the smoothest bourbon around - Old Grand Dad.

Old Grand Dad 100 is the best of the commonly available, non-small batch bourbons. It has an initial bite that snaps the tongue to attention and then dissolves into a fruity mix of flavors that pleases each area of the palate differently. The mouth feel is rich, without cloying, the color is pure. Wild Turkey self-destructs, Jack Daniels isn't even close, Maker's Mark is great but doesn't have the staying power, Knob Creek never gives up its initial bluster and Jim Beam is ashamed to show his face in front of OG.

The regular stuff is just pig rinse. The high test is good, but I can't get it regularly where I live.

The 100-proof version is quite good, and one of my guilty pleasures. I find the 80-proof version rather uninteresting.

found some 25 year old (yeah, that means from 1979!) old grand-dad...this rivals some of the best alcohol of any type that i've ever had! if you can, grab a bottle and put it aside for when you're an old grand-dad yourself...you'll be glad you did!

The OGD bite is distinctive and smooth. I won't drink any other bourbon. period.

It is quite obvious to me that anyone who does'nt like the taste of OGD has no idea what true Bourbon is supposed to taste like. For you light weights that can't handle it straight, try mixing it with 7UP.

I can remember my first encounter with OGD at a friend's house when I was about 14. His folks kept it around for what he said was medicinal purposes. It burned like hell going down. I recently had the unfortunate opportunity to re-visit OGD and guess what? It was just as nasty and burned like hell going down.

I like it too. I also like Macallan and Maker's so I suppose if you're a light-weight drinker you should probably stay away from the stronger adult liquors.

Old Grand Dad is my favorite. It has a bite but goes down very smooth. A must for any true bourbon drinker.

Gross out ! It is kinda like that Old Milwaukee beer, it reminds me of older alcoholics who barely have a liver left. It is sad, really. Almost depressing that people can drink such nastiness.
