I really like OGD 114 and BIB.... I did have a question however. What do the lot numbers on the back indicate if anything? I have 2 lot number 1, one opened and enjoying now. The other in waiting bought them a few years back as you can guess.

I've never seen one (of the current incarnation) that wasn't Lot #1.

I love this whiskey, and I'm not sure that Beam could ever crack my price comfort ceiling for it.

Yeah that's what I was kinda thinking. I did see a person saying they had a rare one that was lot 8 or something with a barcode that was Beams lol. Can't people just enjoy this fine bourbon? And point on the thread- having some now!

Joe,

I know what you mean. They are so far away from my ceiling. I often tell people that I would gladly pay over $50 for OGD 114.

OGD114 still sells for $21.99/750ml (NO TAX!) at our local Total Wines here in Taxachusetts.  Time to buy a few more.  :lol:

OGD114 is $29.95-$34.95 (plus tax) here in my neck of the woods in Georgia. I'm a bit confused as to why you call your state "Taxachusetts" but have such a great price on Bourbon - and no tax!

We have taxes on virtually everything else - we voted down the tax on booze several years ago.  We don't pay sales tax on food (but we do pay tax at a restaurant & on "Prepared" food), clothing (under $200), tho'.  Income, property, sales, bottle deposits, tolls, etc., etc.   :angry:

I think Beam is aware of this thread and SmokinJoe's comments about the price as OGD114 went up 5 a bottle here last summer from 22.99 to 27.99 and I bought all I could find.  I think I have 3 more downstairs before I have to pay the new higher price.

The Michigan price book has it going up another $5 this month!

ugg, local shop tipped me off last time.  I won't be stocking up this time with 3 in the bunker and trying to cut down on spending.  I guess I will stock up later this year when I make my IN trip,  I am also considering going to KY and TN this year when I take some vaca time so hopefully it's cheaper in one of those 3 states and I can pick up a half dozen or so to fill part of the trunk with.

Oh no - price increase is already in effect up here - OGD114 is now $22.99 (up from $21.99).  Time to use the next paycheck to stock up . . . . . :P

It's been $29-$34 here in middle GA for the past 6 months (oops, I think I posted that earlier in this thread!)

One of our locals has it priced in that range on the shelves with rows of underage, over hyped boutique stuff at thrice the price.  I try not to laugh on my way out the door.

OG--- of any age---brings back memories.... Not understanding the meaning of "smooth", drinking what I could afford as  too young man, and leaving an indelible ring on my parent's good coffee table after 30 seconds.

Good times.  Not so much good whiskey.  Still, we all drink what we like.

Can't believe all the love this rotgut is getting on this thread. Tried it once from a bottle my brother had and was not impressed at all. After that experience, I never bothered to open the bottle I bought once which resides in my bunker. I guess I could give it another try, but I have too many other bottles of good stuff, so I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Ooooooh, Don't drink that awful stuff!     Send it to me for proper disposal (I'm certified in safe Bourbon disposal by an official-sounding 'Society').    PM me for the shipping address.

I'll jump in and lend a hand with that, Rich. Any disposal services needed west of the Mississippi can be directed to me. We're a collaborative bunch here ;)

Haha, touche' guys.  I guess I will need to give it another try sometime, maybe I just had a case of bad palate that time who knows.

Kep - 'Way back when, I thought it was hot and woody and raw.  Then, I let the two oz. sit about five minutes while I fed the cats.  Then, I smelled this fruity stuff near my chair.  Then, I lightly sipped the OGD 114.  Wonderful!  I've learned to pour, sometimes add a small ice cube, but always let it sit a few minutes.  My mood determines whether and, if so how big, a cube.  This, of course, does NOT replace the OGD BIB sitting in my trash can next to my chair just in case I need it.

Hi folks, 

 

Is it just me or it tastes a little bit like Johnny Walker ? I'm not an expert, so don't go hard on me if i'm wrong. Thx
