Nose

Not explicitly described in this application.

Palate

Bright and effervescent with a 100-proof high-rye character that cuts cleanly through orange juice and ginger beer; the spice adds a backbone without overwhelming the citrus and ginger sweetness.

Finish

Spicy finish that balances the sweetness of the ginger beer and orange juice.

Above average
Old Granddad Bottled in Bond brings assertive spice and good proof presence to a breakfast mimosa, standing out without drowning the citrus and ginger.
