Old Grand Dad Bourbon

A go-to bourbon for cocktails and occasional sipping. Named in honour of whiskey legend Basil Hayden Sr., Old Grand-Dad is bottled in bond, which means it was produced by one distillery in one year. It had to be bottled at 100 proof (50 percent alcohol) and was aged for a minimum of four years at a government-bonded warehouse. Made with a higher rye content, it is smooth, rich and spicy, with flavours of vanilla, ginger, orange peel, pumpkin, coconut, caramel and all-spice. The higher alcohol adds some kick, but it’s got the flavours and depth to smooth things out.
