Old Grand Dad 114 Barrel Proof 1L

Old Grand-Dad was created by Raymond B. Hayden, a third-generation distiller in 1882. He chose the name to honour his own grandfather and the family’s first-generation distiller, Basil Hayden Sr. If the name sounds familiar, it may be because another bourbon label popularized it. Basil Hayden’s bourbon was crafted by master distiller Booker Noe in 1992. While he had no relation to the Haden family, he was inspired by Hayden Sr.’s expertise in the field and named the product after him.

Former President Harry S. Truman drank his fair share of bourbon while in the White House. Truman’s biographer, David McCulloch, wrote that the former president started his mornings with a 5 a.m. shot of Old Grand-Dad bourbon that (in Truman’s words) “got the engine running.” He accompanied his morning whiskey fix with toast, eggs, bacon, and milk.
