What is Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon?

Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon is a high-rye bourbon that packs a punch at 100 proof, offering a bold and spicy flavor profile that stands out in cocktails and sips well neat. Interestingly, the "Old Grand-Dad" on the label is actually Basil Hayden Sr., whose grandson founded the brand and used his grandfather's likeness as a tribute to the family's distilling legacy.

Why do we love Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon?

Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon stands out with its high-rye mash bill, featuring 27% rye for a spicier kick than most bourbons. As a bonded whiskey, it's bottled at 100 proof and aged for at least four years, offering cocktail enthusiasts a bold, full-flavored spirit that shines in classic drinks like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan.

How do you drink Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon?

Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon shines in classic whiskey cocktails, but it's equally enjoyable sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its robust flavors. This versatile bourbon is a year-round pleasure, though its warmth is particularly comforting on crisp autumn evenings, and it pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes like smoked meats, aged cheeses, or rich chocolate desserts.

Nose: Robust corn sweetness, toasted oak, and vanilla. Hints of rye spice, cinnamon, and a touch of nutmeg. Underlying notes of caramel and dried fruit.

Palate: Full-bodied and warm. Caramel corn and honey upfront, followed by rye bread and baking spices. Oak char and black pepper provide balance. Hints of orange peel and dark cherry emerge.

Finish: Long and warming. Lingering notes of toasted nuts, vanilla, and oak tannins. Subtle mint and dark chocolate flavors appear as the spice fades. Leaves a pleasant corn sweetness on the tongue.

Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon is crafted using a high-rye mash bill and distilled to no more than 160 proof, then aged for at least four years in new, charred oak barrels. As a bonded whiskey, it's bottled at exactly 100 proof and comes from a single distillation season at one distillery, adhering to strict regulations that ensure consistency and quality.

  • Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon is named after Basil Hayden Sr., a real-life distiller who pioneered using a higher percentage of rye in bourbon mash bills. His grandson later created the brand as a tribute, making it one of the few bourbons named after an actual person.
  • During Prohibition, Old Grand-Dad was one of only ten brands authorized for lawful production as "medicinal whiskey." Patients could obtain prescriptions from doctors for various ailments, allowing them to purchase bottles from pharmacies.
  • The iconic "Old Grand-Dad" face on the bottle isn't a generic illustration—it's believed to be an actual portrait of Basil Hayden Sr. himself, making it a rare example of a bourbon that features its namesake's likeness on every bottle.

      Old Grand-Dad bonded is my bourbon of choice on my bar. I mostly buy it for mixing and it makes a fantastic Paper Plane in my opinion.
