Old Grand Dad Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Jim Beam) 5cl Sample

Old Grand-Dad is a brand of bourbon whiskey distilled at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. The brand was created by Raymond B. Hayden and named after his grandfather Meredith Basil Hayden Sr., who was a well known distiller during his lifetime. A fanciful portrait of Hayden Sr. is depicted on the front of each bottle. Today, it is owned and produced by Beam Suntory. As of December 2015, Old Grand-Dad and Old Overholt – both of which are Beam Suntory brands – are marketed together as "The Olds".

Old Grand-Dad remains one of the USA's ten best-selling straight whiskeys.[3] It comes in three different bottling proofs: 80 proof, 100 proof Bottled In Bond, and 114 Barrel Proof in a short-height bottle gift box package. In 2013 the lower proof offering went from 86 proof to 80 proof. Since 1992 Beam has also marketed another brand of Kentucky bourbon, Basil Hayden's, named after the same person.
