Old Grand Dad 114 Proof Whiskey

Produced using the Hayden family’s signature high-rye mash bill, this whiskey delivers a spicy, punchy profile that’s earned it cult status among value-minded bourbon lovers and serious sippers alike.

Uncut and bottled at 114 proof, it’s a powerhouse that doesn’t hold back. On the nose, expect warm oak, baking spice, and a hint of orange zest.

Whether served neat, with a splash of water, or over a large ice cube, Old Grand-Dad 114 is unapologetically bold and endlessly enjoyable.
