Whats a bottle going for of Eagle Trace I might give that one a go next bottle shop stop!

I was over my Moms its been 8 years since Dad passed. Mom said go though his liquor Cabinet and if anything there you want take it or its getting pitched. I just never went through it after he died maybe thinking he might slip back in for a nitecap. Dad didn't have expensive tastes mostly like being a child of the great depression and WWII era. Wasn't really much of a drinker just kept around for guests.
I found some Crow, Jack Black and a variety of McCormick s gins and vodka's and mixers. But the real find was a unopened bottle of Old Grandad bottled in bond 100 proof. I remember sneaking in as a young lad and pouring me a Grandad and mello yellow. I used to keep a bottle around for when felt like putting one on but its getting scarce around now.

This review made me chuckle.

Purchased at: Virginia ABC Store #338 - Waynesboro, Virginia
Purchased for: $20.28
Info on this bottle: Distilled DSP-KY-230. Bottled DSP-KY-14
Nose: Ruddy copper hued amber. Good viscosity in the bottle with oily slow legs.
Sweet nose overall. Cornbread; vanillia, and nugat, on a backdrop of tobacco smoke and charred oak. Some sharp florals.
Taste: Prickling (not pickling) spices with a mildly tannic tongue assault. Sweetness arrives mid-palete. Not as complex as the nose. Good solid bourbon flavor overall with a ragged start.
Finish: Tannicness continues, but not as strong. Plenty of warmth that should be called 'heat'. Drying oaken decay. Semi-sweet/tart. Smoke on the water.
Overall: AC/DC belting out Highway To Hell slightly out of tune and way too loud. I guess that's why I like it!

Glass - What glass??? I just slugged this shit down straight from the bottle.

It's better that way! Now hop on a Harley-Davidson and put something exciting between your legs!
