Proof of Bourbon off the still from some major distillers

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.
