About Old Grand-Dad 

Basil Hayden Sr. – known as Old Grand-Dad to the generations that followed – made bourbon the way he wanted. He went against the traditional “grain” of the time and chose to distill his bourbon with a higher percentage of rye. This way of crafting bourbon was likely something he handed down to his son. And in turn, his grandson. That was Colonel R.B. Hayden who would justly name his bourbon after his grandfather. The recipe today remains inspired by Basil’s original with complex flavors and an unmistakable spiciness. For more information, visit https://www.beamdistilling.com/our-brands/old-grand-dad-bourbon.
