Old Grand-Dad 80 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 1L

Old Grand-Dad 80 Proof is the lighter and more approachable expression of the historic high-rye bourbon range. Bottled at 40% ABV, it retains the brand's characteristic rye-driven spice while presenting a smooth, easy-drinking profile. Caramel and vanilla are balanced by sweet corn, toasted oak and subtle fruit, with cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper adding warmth. The lower proof gives the whiskey a softer body than the Bonded and 114 Proof expressions, making it particularly versatile for casual sipping and classic bourbon cocktails.

Distillery Information

Old Grand-Dad is one of America's historic bourbon brands and is named in honour of Basil Hayden, whose distilling legacy helped inspire its distinctive high-rye style. The brand became known for producing a fuller, spicier bourbon than many traditional Kentucky expressions and has remained a respected name through generations of changing ownership. Today, Old Grand-Dad is part of the James B. Beam Distilling Company portfolio and continues to be produced in Kentucky. Its Bonded expression preserves a traditional style of American whiskey production, requiring whiskey from a single distillation season and single distiller, matured for at least four years and bottled at exactly 100 proof.
