Flavor Profile Differences
The gap between these two is mostly about spice.
- Old Grand-Dad Bonded: A bonded 100-proof high-rye bourbon for the price of a mixer, and one of the great bargains on the shelf. Cleaner and less overwhelming than the 114 while keeping the peppery rye backbone.
- Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #011 6 Year Wheated: A very high-wheat bourbon bottled at cask strength. Nearly half the grain is wheat, so it is honeyed and candy-sweet with bright citrus and cherry rather than rye spice.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Old Grand-Dad Bonded if you want a bonded, high-rye workhorse at mixer money without hunting for it.
- Go with Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #011 6 Year Wheated if you want an extremely wheat-heavy, cask-strength pour that is all honey, candy and citrus with an older age statement.
