Old Grand Dad Bottled in Bond Bourbon Venus Blend No. 1 Gin just as in the original

just as in the original mid-19th century recipe

white chocolate and apricot flavors

and distilled to bottling strength

then a mouth-warming wave of tannic bite sweeps over all and lingers for a good long time

a testament to the painstaking process and strict traditions that still go into making each bottle today
