Conveniently was near a liquor store that stocked this after seeing a mention on the other ilx whiskey thread -- delicious! $12! DELICIOUS! the overholt liters there were $20. So at an $8 savings... and it's good, easy to drink.

ooh that looks good, fuck u dumb Oregon liquor control board for restricting our supply and options.

I just got bottles of Four Roses (standard) and Old Granddad 100 proof. I use the OGD for old fashioneds and the Four Roses for most other mixed drinks.

wound up blazed in a empty theater in Manhattan

just became a fan of mellow corn on facebook.

Old Grand-Dad is featured prominently in the opening scenes of the film Bad Santa and in the Nick Stefanos novels by George P. Pelecanos, as well as in John Hawkes's classic novel Second Skin. Former Pennsylvania State University football coach Joe Paterno's son suggested that his father enjoyed Old Grand-Dad on the rocks.[1] The fictional character Morgan Kane, from the book series of the same name, always drank Old Grand-Dad if it was available and took a bottle or three with him most of the times he had to venture too far from a liquor store or a bar to his liking. George Thorogood references Old Grand-Dad whiskey in his song "I Drink Alone", in the lyrics "...the only one who will hang out with me is my dear Old Grand-Dad..." Old Grand-Dad is cited in the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "Whiskey Rock-a-Roller" (from the 1975 album Nuthin' Fancy) saying, "She likes to drink Old Grand-Dad, and her shoes do shuffle around". Old Grand-Dad is also drunk by James Bond in the novel Live and Let Die. It is also mentioned in the Hank Williams, Jr. song "Women I've Never Had": "I like sweet young things and Old Grand-Dad, and I like to have women I've never had". In Cormac McCarthy's Cities of the Plain novel, Old Grand-Dad is the drink of choice for many of the characters. In his book Truman, David G. McCullough writes extensively about President Harry S. Truman's love for bourbon, in which he was joined by his wife Bess. He further writes that the President's preferred drink was Old Grand-Dad on the rocks. In Raymond Chandler's 1953 novel, The Long Goodbye, the main protagonist, detective Philip Marlowe, offers Old Grand-Dad to his female companion after he arrives at Marlowe's apartment despondent and with a gun. The author Charles Bukowski frequently mentioned "Old Grand-Dad" is his stories. In Hank Searls' 1978 novel, Jaws 2, one of the attack victims drinks coffee laced with Old Grand-Dad to calm his nerves before going scuba diving.
