Old Grand-Dad Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (1988) US Import 75cl

Rare bottlings of Old Grand Dad do not come by very often. This is bottled in 1988 and distilled in the mid 80s.

This amazing dusty bourbon brand (well, in this case dusty, as it was produced by the long gone National Distillers Inc., but Jim Beam still makes it today) was created by Raymond B. Hayden in the late 19th century. He named the brand after his grandfather Meredith Basil Hayden Sr., known as the ‘Father of High Rye Bourbon’. The Old Grand-Dad brand was acquired by Jim Beam in 1987. They made it into an inferior bottom shelf stinker, but this bottle comes from the golden days of yesteryear: bottled in 1977 at 80 proof. It was exported to the Italian market.

A piece of bourbon history in the USA. Have a taste of 40 years ago!

Tasting Notes 

Nose : A little cinnamon and burnt oak, plus vanilla and a little caramel

Palate : cinnamon again, with dark fruits and spicy notes. Oak is on the medium side

Finish : sweetening in the finish with toffee and brown cane sugar, with cardamom and some speculaas

About Old Grand Dad

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.
