This is a bottle of Old Grand-dad circa 1970's with the old 70 proof and 26.4 fl oz label

The Old Grand-dad brand was created by Raymond B. Hayden and named after his grandfather 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.

The Hayden family's first commercial distillery was created in 1840, and the whiskey has been in production since that time despite several changes of ownership.Today, Old Grand-Dad is one of the ten best-selling straight whiskeys.

Since 1992 Beam has also marketed another brand of Kentucky bourbon, Basil Hayden's, named after the same person.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge, a warm caramel-bronze glow.

Nose

Warm vanilla and caramel rise with toasted oak and a touch of butterscotch. Bright orange zest adds lift, while peppery rye spice lends the bourbon’s signature bite. Subtle dried fruit and tobacco weave through the sweetness, yielding a comforting, old-school depth that invites another whiff.

Palate

On the palate, brown sugar caramel and vanilla mingle with toasty oak, framed by a gentle rye-spice edge. Mid-palate reveals cinnamon and clove heat with a hint of dried fruit. Rich and balanced, it coats with a warm, silky mouthfeel before a lingering, softly peppery finish.

Finish

Medium-length and warmly spiced, this finish unfolds with rye pepper and cinnamon, surrendering to toasted oak, vanilla and caramel. A dry, lingering spice tail lingers elegantly, inviting the next sip.
