Old Grand-Dad 114 Proof Single Barrel 7 Year Bourbon

Old Grand-Dad 114 Single Barrel 7 Year is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey bottled at a hearty 114 proof, crafted by the James B. Beam Distilling Co. from a high-rye mash bill. This single barrel release spends seven years maturing before bottling, delivering brown sugar sweetness, warm cinnamon spice, and a peppery rye backbone that's earned Old Grand-Dad a loyal following among bourbon drinkers who want big flavor without a big price tag.

Old Grand-Dad has long been the bourbon insiders point to when someone asks for a high-proof pour that still respects the wallet. Distilled by James B. Beam Distilling Co. using a mash bill of 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley, this single barrel expression takes that classic high-rye profile and lets extended aging and barrel individuality add extra depth and character. Every barrel has its own personality, but the bold, full-flavored Old Grand-Dad DNA always comes through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Old Grand-Dad 114 Single Barrel good for cocktails?

Yes, its 114 proof and bold rye spice make it an excellent choice for cocktails that need a fuller-bodied bourbon, like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, since the higher proof stands up well to dilution and mixers.

What makes the single barrel version different from regular Old Grand-Dad 114?

The single barrel release comes from one individual barrel aged 7 years rather than a blend of many barrels, giving it added depth and a slightly different flavor nuance batch to batch while keeping the same high-rye, bold profile fans expect.

Is this bourbon a good value?

Absolutely, at under $50 this is one of the best-value single barrel bourbons on the shelf, delivering high-proof intensity and 7-year maturity that competes with bottles costing significantly more.

Should I drink Old Grand-Dad 114 neat or on the rocks?

Both work well, neat sipping lets you appreciate the full caramel-and-spice complexity, while a splash of water or a few ice cubes can open up the aromatics for those who prefer a slightly softer pour.

What does Old Grand-Dad 114 taste like?

Expect brown sugar caramel sweetness up front, followed by warm cinnamon and peppery rye spice, aged oak, and a long, spicy finish that's characteristic of this high-rye Kentucky straight bourbon.
