- Description
- Old Grand-Dad's 80-proof expression delivers the chewy, spicy character the brand is known for, with butterscotch and caramel balanced by tobacco, nutmeg, white pepper, and dried cherry notes. The bourbon's mid-range proof allows these flavours to integrate without harsh alcohol burn, creating an approachable but flavourful dram. This is an everyday bourbon suited to neat pours or as the foundation of classic cocktails where its spice and sweetness enhance rather than overpower.
