Old Grand Dad 114 Is Discontinued? See Video Description For Update From Jim Beam

Рет қаралды 36,522

Күн бұрын

UPDATE: Rob Simonson, the author of the vinepair OGD114 article, posted this update on July 11 2024 his IG :
"UPDATE: so the people at Beam reached out to me to let me know that Old-Grand Dad 114 is indeed still in production and will continue to be. This despite the fact that two other people from Beam told me the opposite last March. It would be great if there was more clarity and transparency in the communications from large liquor corporations but the situation is what it is and we booze reporters do the best that we can. Sorry for the confusion. And hooray that old granddad 114 is still around!"
Rumors that Jim Beam were going to discontinue OGD 114 have swirled for years. Recently an article from Vine Pair stated it has happened. Is it true? Why would Jim Beam do this to such a popular product? Watch to find out!

As a guy who works at Jim beam. They are not discontinuing it. What they are discontinuing is old tub and basil hayden red wine cask. Old tub will stick around for maybe a couple more years but then is done. Red wine cask is already officially done

But now I’m gonna make it my next purchase and if I do like it I will bunker one or two. Other than that I do plan on buying a glass!

It’s really findable in my area for about $25. Over a year ago it was hard to come by for $29. It’s a really good pour for what it is but wouldn’t be mad if they repackaged it with a little more age to it. I’ve read that Old Grandad used to be a premium bottle that Jim Beam turned into a bottom shelfer. Same goes for Old Overholdt, which they’re trying to bring back its roots.

Well, Jim Beam has been doing this for years. I remember seeing the regular Jim Beam with an 8 year age statement, then that went away. A few years later, Jim Beam came out with Black Label, age stated at 8 years, then a couple years of that, and it became, "Extra Aged." Then just recently they came out with the Black, with a 7 year age statement, it is definitely all marketing strategies.

@@BourbonRealTalk they experiment with the price of OGD114 in my location. Used to be $25 a few years ago. I picked up one and still have it. It's ok but nothing special. Then the price went up to $35 ish. Now it's back down to $27. It doesn't sell well if priced higher than mid to high $20's. If they plan on relabeling it to sell for $70, that's going to backfire stupendously.

I hope they keep it - that's good bourbon and doesn't cost much. Something that's part of your exposition, though you've not said explicitly (yet, anyway), is that a whisky company is a *business.* However much we may dislike the decisions a distillery makes, they're making business decisions, and if they ever cease to run the business like a business they'll be out of business. That's a point that we on the customer's side need to remember, so thanks for reminding us.

I have seen that Jim Beam mixes their 80 and 114 proof Old Grand-Dad to make 100 proof Old Grand-Dad. They prefer you buy the more expensive Basil Hayden with fancy copper and aluminum on the bottle. Or their much more expensive Hardin's Creek bourbon. I prefer the 100 proof Old Grand-Dad over both the 80 and 114 proof versions. Or 100 proof Early Times, or 90 proof Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey from 2 other companies in KY.
