The Legacy of Old Grand-Dad

First bottled in 1882, Old Grand-Dad is a traditional and storied bourbon. Acquired by James B. Beam Distilling Co. in 1987, it remains a favorite among bartenders, collectors, and whiskey aficionados. The current day “OGD” is specifically formulated with more rye for a spicy yet pleasantly light flavor, striking a perfect balance for sipping or mixing.

Crafted for Perfection

Historically inspired by vintage releases, this fine bourbon is cut to 100 proof to achieve its optimal and distinctively classic OGD flavor and body. Patiently aged, it converges the high-rye recipe bourbon drinkers know and love with extra time in the barrel, enhancing its depth and complexity.
