The bourbon world appears to have a love hate relationship with the OGD model. The fabulous excessive rye bourbon was offered to Fortune Manufacturers in 1987 which finally grew to become modern-day Jim Beam. The Nationwide Distillers equipment shaped out of the American Medicinal Distillers Spirits Corp, however the Hayden household had been famend distillers in KY way back to the late 1700s when Meredith Basil Hayden Sr, when he led a celebration of settlers to Bardstown in 1785. On the time of the sale, Nationwide Distillers managed over 200 manufacturers together with Outdated Crow, Outdated Taylor, and Outdated Overholt. It had vegetation in Frankfort, Louisville, and Cincinnati. At this time, Jim Beam’s highest rye bourbon (63% corn, 27% rye, 10% malt) is produced on the Clermont distillery outdoors of Bardstown, however the firm has taken strides to make sure the character and high quality stay the identical. They’ve retained the previous yeast, they distill and fill barrels at decrease proof than commonplace Beam mashbills they usually bottle the core expression in bond. That mentioned, they haven’t accomplished a lot with any of “the Olds” other than promoting Outdated Taylor to Sazerac Co. As a substitute specializing in their very own creation, Basil Hayden Bourbon. But by many customers palates, the OGD 114 famously stays probably the greatest values in bourbon at the moment. That each one modified within the final couple of years, when rumors started to swirl about new expressions and a brand new curiosity within the manufacturers from Suntory’s International Advertising workforce. First we bought the ten yr Overholt and now this product, a really previous expression of the excessive rye mashbill bottled at 100 proof. It’s an thrilling growth for the model, which I hope will imply future enlargement of its choices, however let’s give it a go.
The colour is a deep tawny (1.4). The nostril is a right away hit of dense baking spice -clove and nutmeg- adopted by Seville orange peel and dense previous oak. It’s clear that the excessive rye bourbon can stand as much as the wooden this lengthy, because the spice holds as much as the tannins. With air, we get extra chocolate, some vanilla and hints of caramel candies. It’s not an enormous candy nutty man you may anticipate from Beam. In reality, it’s a few of the least Beam like Beam that’s come throughout my desk. The palate is a very uncommon and intriguing factor. Large previous wooden notes, give it a really vintage vibe -herbal, dusty, grassy, advanced and out of the norm. Because it aerates, the varnish-y old skool vibe relents considerably providing dried stone fruit, hints of cacao, underbrush and muscovado sugar. The end is medium with the spice dominating because it closes. It’s an actual curler coasted and a good looking addition to the Beam pantheon, though it appears unlikely that they’ll have the ability to launch this regularly contemplating how little manufacturing is devoted to this mashbill. My solely grievance can be would have cherished to see it at 114 proof, merely for continuities sake and maybe that might add some texture to the end, however it’s nonetheless thrilling to see the place this well-known whiskey goes after so a few years in barrel. That is one that may actually communicate to the geeks, however it’s wild character and distinctive profile make it an fascinating bottle for any whiskey lover.
