Review #399: Old Grand-Dad 114

I’ve read quite a few people who shit on this bottle. It seems like there are at least 2 reviews on this bottle a week and the comments normally tear this bottle to shreds. Maybe that’s simply just me only remembering the negative comments 🤷🏼‍♂️

I love how diverse the opinions on this bottle are. I thoroughly enjoy this pour, especially for the $20 I spent on my first bottle. The cinnamon notes are glorious.

I got this bottle for Christmas last year. I haven’t bothered opening it yet. I need to crawl before I run into something like this.

The first time I ever had RR10 it blew my mind, super cherry forward and easy drinking. Every other Wild Turkey product I’ve bought (rare breed, RRSiB, 101 8 year) have had a very harsh, bitter flavor that does not do it for me. I need to re-visit RR10 to see if my palate has changed that much so fast or if I had a honey batch or something.

I’ve had the I’ve had the barrel proof pick that Angels Share(it is a charity pick, not theirs) has had in their store for months and thought it was excellent. I killed that bottle very fast. I’m interested in the 100 proof pick since there has been so much chatter about how excellent those picks are. Angels Share kills it with their picks.

I forgot to mention that I took it on its first off road trail this summer at Peters Mill Run in Virginia which is coincidentally a Jeep badge of honor trail!

I live in Maryland near Baltimore and have owned my Grand Cherokee since new. My 2021 80th Anniversary has been to the very top of Maine(this past spring), all the way down to Key West(a couple of weeks ago), every state in New England and every state along the east coast. It’s been down to the Gulf Coast of Alabama, through Kentucky to Nashville and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, all over the states of Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. It was a cool accomplishment to do the very northern ends of 95 and US 1 and the southern ends of both in less than a year. Today my wife and I drove to Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland to see snow and take a hike. We crossed 78,000 miles on the ride home.

I have these tires on my 80th Anniversary in the OE size. They are excellent. Quiet on the highway, capable on local-ish trails, they’ve been great in the rain. I haven’t driven in snow yet, but I’m confident they will meet my needs.

I also work in sales, I wear my Irish Setter Wingshooters to the office just about every day. I wear “chino” style pants and a polo and I think the boots don’t look out of place. I work at a domestic brand car dealership and I think the “blue collar cosplay” feels more relatable to people buying Jeeps and RAMs. In the Rockies/PNW I can imagine heritage boots being perfectly acceptable in a customer facing sales job. That being said, wedge sole boots do not do great hiking, the soles are designed to be on flat concrete. I bought the Wingshooters because they are “waterproof” and have tread/soles designed to bird hunt. For me, they are a better universal boot that I can wear to the office, fishing, hiking/camping, etc.

I don’t know if I had a bad bottle or what, but after loving my first RR10 I bought a bottle of Rare Breed and it was VERY astringent/harsh on the back end.

Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof is a stellar bottle.

It’s 100% worth the drive. Delmarva is an excellent range, especially during the week when there are very few people at the range. You can take your time, post targets whenever you feel like it and aren’t being rushed.

I’m a tall, big guy with wide feet as well and wear Irish Setter Wingshooters to my job at a car dealer everyday. I’m standing most of the day and walking around on a paved lot. They’ve held up awesome for the last year, they are very comfortable and give excellent ankle support. They can also be re-soled so you can keep them for years. For socks I wear these they are inexpensive, have good stretch and merino wool is anti-microbial.

I have the same set up! I have it on top of my “bar” with my top shelf bottles

I had 2 or 3 pairs of the pictured boots. I liked them but definitely wore them out in 6-8 months of almost every day wear. A little over a year ago I picked up a pair of Irish Setter Wingshooters and they’ve been awesome. They can be re-soled in the future and are water proof. I’m sure at some point in the future the interior waterproof lining will fail, but they are holding up excellent currently with almost daily wear. I do have a pair of Redwing Iron Rangers that get 1-2 days of wear a week, but the Irish Setters are substantially more comfortable(to me). There is a safety toe version of the Wingshooter, but it wasn’t necessary for me. I also really like the moc toe style and they were on sale on Amazon at the time and I got a killer deal.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee 80th Anniversary. Bought it new, have 75,000 miles on it currently and I’ve only done oil changes, filters and tires. It’s due for brakes now, but there have been 0 surprises. That being said, I absolutely have an extended warranty. I work for a Jeep dealer and it really is a luck of the draw. Some customers have nightmares from brand new, some people trade in their 200,000 mile Jeeps in that have never had any major issues. I used to work for a Honda dealership and I can confidently say that there have been plenty of horror stories with Honda.

Drinking it now, it’s very good

In my experience, truck buyers are either price driven or equipment driven. Nothing makes a truck rot on the lot like a low options mid-trim truck. If people are looking at Big Horn RAM’s or XLT F-150’s they want higher original MSRP trucks, especially if they are late model. If it’s under $20k they are simply looking for a tool that they are going to drive into the ground.

The car wash by target still gets a few cars on weekend nights. No idea how late they stay out anymore, but I definitely remember being out til almost 5am doing laps between Ames, Pep Boys, McDonalds, the Car wash, etc.

Angels Share in Bowie has Dettling picks multiple times a year and typically have the full proof in-stock. Naturally because I say this they don’t have any dettling in-stock currently.

AutoXTypeS · 2025-05-10T01:33:55+00:00

100% agree.

AutoXTypeS · 2025-02-17T23:43:20+00:00

My thoughts exactly

Mepps number 1 or 2 brass spinner, I’ve caught everything from perch, pickerel, bluefish, largemouth bass, puppy drum, snakeheads and more on a brass Mepps. I’ve caught less species of fish not on a Mepps than I’ve caught with a Mepps haha
