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
Thank you for providing context. People are saying that the announcement of the high rye version of Baker's is where this liquid is headed. Can you confirm positively that this theory is not true?
Thanks for keeping it real...and sharing the love! Praying for peace and understanding for any that have lost a loved one. Have a fun and safe Fourth of July! Cheers!!! 🥃
You can speculate all you want. 108 proof Jim Beam Single Barrel is regularly priced for $24.98 at Liquor Barn in Kentucky. Jim Beam has a ton of whiskey. They have to sell it. I enjoy OGD 114 and I'm going to leave it on the shelf until I want one. If by some rare chance it's not there, Benchmark Full Proof is.
I remember in 2009 people talking about OGD being discontinued. I used to drink Weller by the half gallon and never horded it. I did however horde a case of OGD that's worth what I paid for it then. While the Weller would be worth thousands now. 😅
My wife was asking me just the other day why there was 3 bottles of Old Grand Dad 114 sitting on the floor in the back room when she could clearly see an open bottle (1/2) sitting with the rest of my collection (at least 45 bottles) of bourbons and I told her because I haven't had a chance to get the 4th bottle yet! A cask strength bourbon for $28.99 (and that's a $2 increase from a month ago) You gatta be kidding me! and it taste incredible to boot! drinking an old fashioned with it right now! Old Grand Dad 114 "proof" has to be at least $20 cheaper if not more than any other cask strength bourbon? 🥃Cheers!
Old tub is excellent.. followed by by old granddad.... folks both of these are absolutely great. They need to keep these around..so good . Old granddad BIB also very good.
When I first got into bourbon a number of years ago, when I was young and dumb in my bourbon journey, a friend gave me a bottle of Old Grandad 114. It was an old bottle, from the 80's, and me not knowing anything... I used it to cook with. 🙃 Knowing what I know now, I was an idiot!!!🤯
True ,that really is a cheap barrel i see why it be more beneficial for them to create new line & sell for more or like what you said just sell barrels to someone else for 3-5k.cheers for your video ..still unavailable here in Australia this old granddad ..well i haven't seen one yet but will hunt for some definitely wont be a $20 bottle here thou😅 cheers bourbon real talk community🥃🙏
Just finished my bottle and you already know I'm gonna have to go replenish! Thanks for the insight about 114! Big beam fan myself, first bottle/bottles technically bought intentionally was 114 and kc 9yr bourbon.
OGD 114 has always been a bottle I’ve wanted to try but never bought because I always see it in my small town. Even during rumors way back through the years it sits. 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! I recently had a pour at nice bar in the city not to far and they had glasses similar to yours. It did to me make a very big difference in the nose and I really appreciated that more! So can’t wait! Thanks again for all the info in every video! 👌🏼
I just saw OGD 114 for 17.99 until October 5th, so I bought a bottle. Was curious why they would discount it, though the description says it’s not discontinued, I’m wondering how well it’s selling at $23 for them to discount it lol it really is one of my favorites
What a bunch of BS you need to reconsider your subject matter before putting this out makes you look like you’re working for the company trying to sell product.
Thank you for the feedback.To be honest I was a little hesitant to do this piece since the rumors have been wrong before, but with the announcement that Baker's is going to add a new version that uses the same liquid as OGD it seems more likely that it is real this time. I figured if I explained my reasoning and still made content that was valuable to the viewer even if the rumor turned out to be untrue that real whiskey lovers would still appreciate the video.
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.
I have had several bottles of OGD 114. I am not a fan of high rye Bourbons, but when I drink this one I will usally add 1 small cube. It has been a few years since I have been to the Jim Beam distillery. Need to go again.
market for barrels is dry. i doubt they could sell to a third part for more at this moment. they have saturated the budget market with 3 cheap products. they might pull it and update the product though.
This is a little more than an unsubstantiated rumor. Baker's announced a permanent brand line extension called Baker's High Rye Bourbon with this liquid at $69.99 per bottle. The liquid has to come from somewhere.
@@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.
As low as 16.99 in Northwest Arkansas and has been easily availible for 20 to 24 for the longest. Yet... in Memphis TN it is 40 everywhere. They just got it back after a long hiatus in that market.
I saw they’re releasing a Baker’s High Rye. I got excited bc I’ve always wanted an older OGD mash bill at a decent proof point. So maybe that’s the direction they’re going.
Out of curiosity what are some other 110-120 proof bourbons I can find for simular cost? I'm really loving whiskey in this proof range gotta say I've spent $140 on bottles of whiskey but Old Forester 1920 is still my favorite to date
Benchmark Full Proof is the only other $20ish whiskey I know of in that proof range that is readily available. Everything else I can think off is $40 and up.
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.
I was at Total Wine in North Miami yesterday. An associate confirmed that they ran out of it last week and will not be restocking. By the way, OGD BIB bumped from $25 to $32.
In Ohio it has already gone up to $34.99? I don't know why thinking maybe they caught on I have been collecting since 1991 sealed bourbon whiskey from around the world when I heard of this two years ago that this was going to be happening in about 18 months I bought two cases and put them up with the rest of my bottles I'm kind of weird like that lol I always try to grab up on discontinued bottles it has paid off a lot in the past by buying bulk thanks for the video I enjoyed it have a great rest of the year
I dig OGD 114. I say add a seven or eight year age statement and raise the price by $10 per bottle and you have a whiskey of the year contender. Cheers! 🥃
I think companies should promote Tequila, Rum, Vodka and Gin and make them popular again to get the RiffRaff out of the bourbon market. These days everybody wants to buy bourbon and those other spirits just set on the shelf. I never see empty spots on the Tequila or Rum shelves.
My guess is they are using the 114 as a “loss leader” They make up for the low price of this by diluting the same whiskey down to 80 proof and selling it under the Basil Hayden brand, maybe.
Don't think it will be discontinued but is it does, that's cool with me. Pretty harsh/nasty to me. All I get is black pepper, leather, and ethanol on the palate.
I have one back up because we saw it on sale. I don't drink mixed, and the OGD-BIB is a better sipper to me as well as their Double Oak and Extra Aged, IMO.
I cant get ogd 114 here in MA, I can get the bonded though. I was in Maine recently and there was a store i popped in that had 114 for about $35. Bonded is about $30 a liter in MA. The 114 hasnt really had time to open up, but it really didnt seem all that much better than the bonded...for me anyways. But, will see what happens when it has a chance to open up. If it does get disconnected, it wouldnt really matter to me because there's still the bonded, it doesnt seem all that much better/different to me, and i dont really purchase bottles in that low budget price range. But at least i got to try it. Even if it doesnt get disconnected and i come across it again somewhere, i probably wouldnt buy it anyways. But im happy i got a bottle, even if it was marked up an extra $10.
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.
Yup. I was thinking the same thing. Get a couple bottles in case but not too many in case rumors aren’t true. Though people would go over to the bottled in bond, I still think people would be up in arms if OGD 114 gets discontinued
Especially with the announcement of Bakers 7 coming with a high rye version...don't know what that proof point will be...but that could be the replacement at a 60-70 dollar price tag.
At least with that they didn't mark up Beam Black 7 Year much maybe $5-10 if that. I bet Beam repackages it as Basil Hayden Barrel Proof 7 Year for $90 😒🥃
Just found this video because of the TH-cam algorithm. I’ve never had old grandad, but it is on my shortlist to replace my next killed bottle. I wanted to comment because I also lost a brother to suicide and it’s not a community that anyone is “proud” of. But I’m glad this hobby/community has accidentally connected me to your videos. I’m sorry for your loss and I’m glad you’re still finding a way to thrive. I’m certain your brother would be proud of you.
Thank you! I appreciate that. I would recommend you check out facebook.com/groups/bourbonrealtalkcommunity. There is a lot of good stuff going on in there!
Funny enough, I got my first ever bottle of OGD 114 after winning a randomizer from another member of the BRT Facebook page. Hoping it’ll stick around! It’s so good!
Fair enough and I wish you well, but using unsubstantiated, or in this case possibly untrue titles is not a good way to get your info/message out there.
Found OGD 114 for 19.99 at a store in Wisconsin last year and bought 5 bottles. I am retiring next year, so should be good and not have to buy any more. 🥃
This is less likely to happen than Sazerac lowering prices and bringing everything off of allocation status. I think Beam-Suntory is so huge that they don’t mind using OGD 114 as a loss leader. And I think they could make this infinitely, being only about 5 years old. Whiskey rumors are awesome.
The rebranding of Baker's as an ultra premium and the announcement that they are going to release a baker's high rye makes it more likely this time the rumor is true. The liquid for that new line has to come from somewhere.
OGD 114 is $33 in the NY area. The cheapest I've ever seen it is $30. The bonded is between $25 and $27. Wild Turkey 101, Old Forester 100, and even Jack Daniels No.7 are all around the same price as the OGD 114. There is clearly some play in pricing in different parts of the country.
You shouldn't be reporting information that you haven't confirmed. You called out 13th Colony for not being honest with their double oaked product. You have to hold yourself to the same standards that you hold others to. I've lost all respect for you because of this.
I explain in the video that it isn't possible to verify this information because the companies think that disclosing is bad for the company. The piece was mostly about economics in whiskey and not as much about wether this instance is the actual instance this change is happening, but I respect your decision.
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

This is even worse news! Love me some old tub, just had some last night.
Thank God old tub is disgusting
@@SaraBourbonNight 🤣
Deepest condolences to you and your family with respect to your brother, Sir. 🙏🏾🕊️
OGD 114 is great bottle for the price
They are going to repackage this as Basil Hayden barrel strength and sell it for $80
Jim Beam in a year announces Basil Hayden Barrel Proof 7 Year at $90 a 750 ml with a fancy label with a buckle 🤣🥃
Best guess
😂
Bourbon 51% Corn 49% Marketing
😆 Yes sir
I remember this discontinue hype a few years ago and a bunch of people, myself included, bought a bunch of bottles that never got opened

I’m with you and quite honestly I find the Benchmark FP way better anyway
I have also never seen a JB 108 proof in my state, in my entire life. Let alone an OGD 114. It doesn't exist in PA. Never seen a Benchmark FP either.
@@LemThurdy420 it exists 10 miles over the ny border lol.
JB single barrel is $42 in Va ABC stores.
@@michaelgartman4320 ABC control stores are always higher then NY prices for shelfers too, for instance knob 12 is 48 bucks in ny

Was at my local today and there we two distributors there. One said they were going to discontinue it and shift production to Early Times BIB.

Looks like gotta go pick up a few bottles. I wonder if any other budget bottles will get the axe soon?
Hopefully this is just a rumor. I'm always looking for OGD 114 but haven't ever been able to find one.
One of my favorites ❤
you look pretty bunkered up across the board already there buddy, leave some for the rest of us ;-)
Just finished my bottle and you already know I'm gonna have to go replenish!
Thanks for the insight about 114! Big beam fan myself, first bottle/bottles technically bought intentionally was 114 and kc 9yr bourbon.
Everyone poo poo s on jim beam and this is just another example of how great their brand(s) is. Awesome video once again
Guess I’m buying a case just in case!
Great Daily Drinker, gonna have to tuck just a couple away, gonna buy them anyway 😁

Here in TX, I haven't seen a restock in any stores since you posted this video.
Time to stock up while it's still plentiful around me. $29 at Meijer in michigan 👍🥃😉
Telling everyone to go buy all the bottles. Quickest way to clear shelves and get it allocated in state run states. Thanks bro 👎
This is not true but it should be because that stuff is really bad cheap bottom shelfer stuff.
I just saw OGD 114 for 17.99 until October 5th, so I bought a bottle. Was curious why they would discount it, though the description says it’s not discontinued, I’m wondering how well it’s selling at $23 for them to discount it lol it really is one of my favorites
It is likely that someone overbought on the rumor and is not trying to get their capital out of the inventory at cost.
OGD 114 in Ohio which is a state controlled price is closer to $30+
Same in Florida - $32 at major chain retailers
How’s that compare to Overholt 114? Ohio’s one of only a few states that gets that bottle
I think I got it for $19 in Texas
Great now old grand dad 114 is now going to be allocated.
Such a good mixer bottle.
I have a soft spot for this Whiskey, it ws my first taste of heavy proof bourbon with definable character.

Exactly it's a bottom shelve high rye bourbon. I get gingerbread or spicy peanuts on palate I really have to be in the mood to have a pour of it. 😮💨🥃
I've also noticed Beam has been putting more age statements on their bottles. Knob Creek 7 and 10 year, Jim Beam Black 7, etc
And Old Overholt 10 year cask strength.
Costco had OGD114 in stock 3 months ago....may be a way to clear large volumes of stock
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.

You can find OGD in the Carolinas for $27-29 dollars
I try to get a bottle of 114 whenever I can. Holds up good as a mixer.
I’ve always been surprised with the current price vs Proof
Lmfao first 5 seconds of the video and you lost credibility for the rest of your TH-cam career

MGP's Remus Highest Rye is 49 % rye (split between rye and malted rye, I believe). New Riff uses 30 % rye in their standard offering, as well.
Damn shame you don't have enough juice on the wall behind you to make up for any loss.
Bummer! Can't even buy it in New Zealand 🌏😪😪😪 love the bonded
Not a fan of the idea of youtubers using unsubstantiated rumors to foment FOMO and hoarding of whiskey. This is why we can't have nice things.

Who cares? OGD114 is not good. Sure, the value is decent, but the juice is disappointing.
I hope they don’t repackage this as a higher proof Basil
Hayden.
I bet you they do I see Basil Hayden 7 year Barrel Proof with it's nice fancy belt buckle on packaging 🤣🥃
I mean they need to get the juice for the new Bakers high rye 107 from somewhere 🤷🏻♂️🥃❤️
My local store has a display of OGD 114 that’s about 50 cases right by the front door, $20ish per bottle
Where? I've never seen it for less than $30 near me. Generally $32 - $35. Granted, I live in NJ and EVERYTHING seems to be more expensive here.
Same here in NWA 19.99
In NW Indiana my local has cases of it for 27.99 for a 750ml. It's a solid mixer. I prefer JTS Brown BIB @ 13.99 for a 750ml as my mixer
As low as 16.99 in Northwest Arkansas and has been easily availible for 20 to 24 for the longest. Yet... in Memphis TN it is 40 everywhere. They just got it back after a long hiatus in that market.
@americanmonster8342 ankor has it for 18.99 now and Purspirit in Fayetteville has it for 16.99

8 year age statement at 114 proof would really hurt the sales of knob creek 9 year 120 proof at 80 bucks
I’m Beam is a Solid distillery. OG 114 is over rated. Old Tub is solid, one of my favorites, OG Bonded is Solid 👍
I think companies should promote Tequila, Rum, Vodka and Gin and make them popular again to get the RiffRaff out of the bourbon market. These days everybody wants to buy bourbon and those other spirits just set on the shelf. I never see empty spots on the Tequila or Rum shelves.
Where is this for sale for $23?? I can't recall seeing it for anything less than low thirties near me.
I can get it here in Las Vegas for 26.99
That is the price at all large liquor stores in north Texas.
My guess is they are using the 114 as a “loss leader” They make up for the low price of this by diluting the same whiskey down to 80 proof and selling it under the Basil Hayden brand, maybe.
i love me some OGD 114... and have access to many bottles... but for those of you who don't.... apply!
Don't think it will be discontinued but is it does, that's cool with me. Pretty harsh/nasty to me.

Especially with the announcement of Bakers 7 coming with a high rye version...don't know what that proof point will be...but that could be the replacement at a 60-70 dollar price tag.
Didnt they just announce a new bakers 7 yr with the ogd mashbill?
I didn't see that, but I am busy enough that I miss a lot.
My thought is something like what happened to black barrel. They stop making it and re release an aged stated version. 7 years
At least with that they didn't mark up Beam Black 7 Year much maybe $5-10 if that. I bet Beam repackages it as Basil Hayden Barrel Proof 7 Year for $90 😒🥃

Thank you! I appreciate that. I would recommend you check out facebook.com/groups/bourbonrealtalkcommunity. There is a lot of good stuff going on in there!
Thank you for being here. I'm sorry for your loss as well.
Funny enough, I got my first ever bottle of OGD 114 after winning a randomizer from another member of the BRT Facebook page. Hoping it’ll stick around! It’s so good!
Wow, straight up click bait, thought you were better than that.
I am not beyond using a click bait title. I work hard creating informative content, and I want people to watch it.
Fair enough and I wish you well, but using unsubstantiated, or in this case possibly untrue titles is not a good way to get your info/message out there.
That’s a great bottle for the price, all though I haven’t seen it on the shelves around here (Colorado) for a while now. Thanks for the great video!
One of the few Beam products I haven't tried. Huge fan of the KC Single Barrel Selects though.
I don’t own a bottle, nor have ever tried it. Guess I’ll need to pick up a bottle to try
Same here:)
If you like ginger snaps and ginger bread this is the bourbon for you. The high rye mashbill gives it that taste at least for me. 🥃
One of my favorite budget bourbons
I would love a free bottle of OG 114!
Howdy n thanks! Last time we heard this I stocked up…and the next time…so now I have couple of cases for the next time! 🥃
Found OGD 114 for 19.99 at a store in Wisconsin last year and bought 5 bottles. I am retiring next year, so should be good and not have to buy any more. 🥃
It's about that at Discount Liquor as well as Woodman's.
Have a store by me it’s 20$ but our tax puts it near 30$ but may go grab 1-2 more have one unopened now
I've even never seen a single bottle of this in my state, not one time, and I'm a licensee for a bar!
Ill grab a couple extra, but not gonna go crazy about it personally.
This is less likely to happen than Sazerac lowering prices and bringing everything off of allocation status. I think Beam-Suntory is so huge that they don’t mind using OGD 114 as a loss leader. And I think they could make this infinitely, being only about 5 years old. Whiskey rumors are awesome.
The rebranding of Baker's as an ultra premium and the announcement that they are going to release a baker's high rye makes it more likely this time the rumor is true. The liquid for that new line has to come from somewhere.
Where I work we haven't been able to get any in 2 years, so we won't be affected.
OGD 114 is $33 in the NY area. The cheapest I've ever seen it is $30. The bonded is between $25 and $27. Wild Turkey 101, Old Forester 100, and even Jack Daniels No.7 are all around the same price as the OGD 114. There is clearly some play in pricing in different parts of the country.
25.99 where I'm at
2017 and 2021 were both huge rumors of it getting discontinued
Absolutely love OGD 114, always got one open on the bar!
You shouldn't be reporting information that you haven't confirmed. You called out 13th Colony for not being honest with their double oaked product. You have to hold yourself to the same standards that you hold others to. I've lost all respect for you because of this.
I explain in the video that it isn't possible to verify this information because the companies think that disclosing is bad for the company. The piece was mostly about economics in whiskey and not as much about wether this instance is the actual instance this change is happening, but I respect your decision.
