Whiskey Review: Old Grand-Dad Bourbon
We’re back with another budget bourbon review, and this week we’re digging into Old Grand-Dad Bourbon—the standard 80-proof version. It’s been a while since we revisited this brand, and we weren’t sure if we’d tried this specific expression before. Old Grand-Dad is part of Beam Suntory’s lineup and belongs to their so-called “Olds Collection” (Old Crow, Old Overholt, Old Tub, and Old Grand-Dad). The mash bill here is 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley, making it a high-rye bourbon. Originally created in 1882 by Raymond B. Hayden and named after his grandfather Meredith Basil Hayden Sr., this whiskey shares some lineage with Basil Hayden, another Beam product we’ve found a bit underwhelming in the past. At 80 proof and designed largely for mixing, Old Grand-Dad has some stiff competition in the bottom-shelf bourbon category. This review is taken from our episode "Star Wars (1977) / Old Grand-Dad Bourbon." Click the link t

Reports Suggest Sazerac in Talks With Brown-Forman Following Rumors of Pernod Merger
Weeks after news broke of discussions between Pernod Ricard and Brown-Forman about a potential deal, Sazerac is allegedly throwing its hat in the ring.
