About the product
A true classic of Kentucky bourbon, Old Grand-Dad 100 Proof delivers bold character at an everyday price. Named after pioneering distiller Basil Hayden Sr., this Bottled in Bond expression is made with a distinctive high rye mashbill that sets it apart from milder bourbons.
Aged at least four years and bottled at a robust 100 proof (50% ABV), it offers rich aromas of cinnamon, citrus peel, toasted oak and dried fruit. On the palate, sweet vanilla and caramel meet lively rye spice, baking spices and a touch of toffee, finishing long and peppery with lingering warmth.
Perfect neat, on the rocks or in classic cocktails that call for a full flavored bourbon. A time honored standard that has earned its place as a go to bottle for those who appreciate spice, depth and real value.
