Old Grand-Dad 114 Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 57% Abv | 30ml Sample
Experience one of Kentucky's most beloved high-proof bourbons in a convenient 30ml tasting sample — Old Grand-Dad 114, a cult classic that punches well above its price point.
Bottled at 57% ABV (114 proof), this high-rye straight bourbon is named in honour of Basil Hayden Sr., the grandfather of the distillery's founder. It delivers a bold, spicy, and richly satisfying dram with notes of cinnamon, orange peel, dark caramel, toasted oak, and a peppery rye kick, finishing long and warming.
- Style: Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- ABV: 57% (114 Proof)
- Volume: 30ml Sample
- Mash Bill: High-Rye Bourbon
- Origin: Kentucky, USA
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to tame the proof and open up the complex aromatics. A must-try for fans of bold, spicy bourbon.

I don’t normally go for high rye bourbons but I do like old granddad. It doesn’t have the white pepper of other high ryes but it boarders on a minty-menthol note on the finish. Purely on price for a full bottle I’d go for the bonded rather than the 114. It’s about £10 cheaper and a litre bottle.
