Old Grand-Dad 114 Single Barrel 7 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a bold, high-proof evolution of one of bourbon’s most beloved value classics. Aged for 7 years and bottled at a powerful 114 proof, this single barrel release delivers the signature high-rye character Old Grand-Dad fans expect, with added depth, individuality, and maturity from extended aging.
Crafted at the James B. Beam Distilling Co., this Kentucky straight bourbon is made from a high-rye mash bill of 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley, giving it a classic profile of caramel sweetness, baking spice, oak, and peppery rye structure. Each single barrel offers its own nuance while staying true to Old Grand-Dad’s bold, full-flavored style.
Expect a robust sipping bourbon with notes of brown sugar, caramel, cinnamon spice, peanut brittle, aged oak, and a lingering spicy finish. It is excellent neat, over ice, or in classic whiskey cocktails that call for a fuller, higher-proof bourbon.
