Jim Beam Old Grand-Dad 80 Proof
Basil Hayden Sr. - known as Old Grand-Dad to the generations that followed - made bourbon the way he wanted. He went against the traditional agraina 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 Old Grand-Dad. The recipe today remains inspired by Basil's original with complex flavors and an unmistakable spiciness. First bottled in 1882, very little has changed about it. And that's the only way we'd have it.

Nose: Light cinnamon accompanied by vanilla, caramel, and a trace of baking spices are evident, but discreet.
Palate: Baking spices and a touch of cinnamon coalesce, forming a spicy base. A familiar caramel note offers a contrasting sweetness, accompanied by light apple.
Finish: As the baking spice and cinnamon dissipate, a sweet brown sugar flavor develops. The sweetness is accented by traces of apricot and oak, which quickly dissipate back to a lingering light spice.

Nose: Enticing aromas of rich caramel, vanilla, and seasoned oak are immediately joined by warm cinnamon, dried cherry, and a hint of rye-driven spicy tobacco
Palate: The mouthfeel is notably oily, balancing a sweet, candy-like caramel and vanilla base with lively baking spices, orange zest, and a subtle hint of dried red fruit
Finish: A long, thick, and well-balanced finish that leaves a pleasant lingering warmth of sweet honey, gentle barrel char, and slightly drying toasted oak.
