This rare Old Grand-Dad Bourbon is a National Distillers-era bottling from June 1979, originally imported to the Italian market. Known for its rich, full-bodied character, this bourbon predates the 1987 acquisition of National Distillers by Beam.

Bottled at 40% ABV (70° British Proof of 80 Pf US), this expression showcases the classic National Distillers profile—deeper caramelization, robust spice, and a velvety mouthfeel that distinguishes it from later Beam-era releases.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Warm vanilla, dried apricot, aged oak, and a touch of leather, followed by baking spices.
  • Palate: Buttery caramel, cinnamon, and nutmeg, layered with rich corn sweetness and toasted oak.
  • Finish: Long and smooth with lingering hints of charred wood, toffee, and a whisper of tobacco.

Collectibility & Rarity

Old Grand-Dad bottlings from the National Distillers era are highly valued due to their unique production methods, which included a higher rye mash bill, longer barrel aging, and a different distillation process compared to modern Beam releases. Italian-imported versions often featured slight variations in labeling but retained the same high-quality bourbon within.

This 1979 Old Grand-Dad is a piece of bourbon history, offering a glimpse into the golden era of American whiskey before the mass-market production changes of the late 1980s. Perfect for collectors, enthusiasts, or those seeking to experience a truly vintage bourbon with a storied past.
