    Which Grand-dad do you prefer?

    Of the current product, which OGD do you all prefer, and why? Do you keep more that one expression in your rotation?

    I love, love, LOVE the 114 proof, to the point that I've never even bothered to buy the BiB or the 86 proof.

    Thoughts?


    (and yes, this has been discussed before, but not recently).

    I love the 114 to the point that I sleep with a bottle of it under my pillow . I actually enjoy the 86 over the BIB, but just slightly. You can't go wrong with OGD.

    Exactly, nothing else to say really. I haven't seen the BiB around here for more than $2 less than I can get the 114 for, actually often see it for more. The 86 is pointless completely IMO, and only when it was ND would I really bother with the BiB.

    Interesting. I rather prefer the BIB to the rest of the OGD line up, and at $28 a handle, I tend to buy it, well, by the handle.
    Never ask a man if he is from Virginia. If he is, he'll tell you. If he isn't, you don't want to embarass him.

    I'd have to say the BIB, too, although the 114 is close. I mainly go with the BIB because it's everywhere while the 114 isn't. I'd love to find handles, but even the liters (I can easily find them for $18) are a good deal.

    114 for me is a no-brainer. They are under $20 in tax-free Delaware.

    I prefer the BIB.

    I've also had occasion in the recent past to develop a new appreciation for Basil Hayden.

    I have both within walking distance but usually opt for the BIB. There's not a lot of difference between them and The BIB bottle is easier to pour from.

    I most prefer my own "custom expression", a 1:1 of 114 and BH.

    114 Hands Down.

    I can't get it here and I've lost my mule so next time I need to get a case.
