A 50% abv bottling of this popular and old bourbon brand. Willie Soke would approve. Old Grand-Dad is also the brand specified by Bond in Live and Let Die for his Old Fashioned in 1954, but that isn’t why this bourbon is “bonded”, of course. It was bottled in bond, meaning it has been aged and bottled according to certain US regulations including the fact that it’s from one distillery, has been aged for at least 4 years, and was bottled at 100 proof.

The original Old Grand-dad Bonded was a distiller named Basil Hayden who made his name by distilling a bourbon whiskey made with a higher percentage of rye. Basil Hayden passed along the art of distilling to his son and then, in turn, to his grandson. It was the third generation distiller, Colonel R.B. Hayden, who honored his grandfather by naming his justly famed whiskey “Old Grand-Dad.”

NOSE:

A wave of cinnamon leads the charge, followed by sweet caramel, vanilla, and a hint of burnt oak. Cinnamon dominates overall, but the balance of sweeter scents along with the oak keeps it manageable. While it comes across as somewhat one-dimensional, it’s still inviting.

palate:

Big cinnamon spice pops upfront with a flash of Fireball candy potency. Dark fruit and baking spices follow, along with a touch of rye spice. It has nice intensity, and like the nose, the cinnamon dominates and is also quite pleasant. It’s medium-bodied with a nice mouthfeel.

finish:

Sweet flavors of caramel candy and raw sugar develop first, followed by baking spices and a very light display of seasoned oak. The finish is medium-length and has just the right amount of intensity. Enjoyable overall and leaves a good impression.

uniqueness:

Old-Grand Dad is one of the oldest and most storied brands on store shelves, but despite this, the brand seems to receive little fanfare among bourbon enthusiasts and very little marketing effort from current owner Beam Suntory. The higher 114 proof version was even rumored to be discontinued in 2017, though it still exists today and pops up in discussions from time to time.
