Interesting info on proof of Bourbon coming off the still(i.e. higher proof vs lower proof off the still). Lists the proofing for a number of the big names in Bourbon:

Old Grand Dad 114 is set apart from other Beam products during distillation in that it comes off the still at 127°. This is based on information that is said to have been accurate in 2008. JBW comes off the still at 135°, Knob Creek at 130°, and Booker’s and Baker’s come off at 125°. OGD BiB and OGD86 are supposedly distilled to the same proof as JBW, but Basil Hayden and OGD114 share the distinction of being distilled to 127° and watered down to 125° for barreling, which is the barreling proof for all Beam bourbons.

I can recall Makers Mark being distilled to 158 proof.

A local distillery collects at 160 proof.
