Old Grand-Dad Kentucky Straight Bourbon 1970s [Gift Box]

Old Grand-Dad Kentucky Straight Bourbon 1970s
Distilled and bottled by National Distillers at Old Grand-dad distillery. We estimate this was bottled in 1979
The 1970s and 1980s represented a period in the US known as the “Glut Era,” when warehouses were over-stocked with whiskey, and many barrels of better-aged than usual bourbon was often dumped into these standard expressions. They are well worth trying. The stories behind America’s bourbon brands are some of the greatest in whisky history, and no other traces the narrative of Kentucky distilling as closely as Old Grand-dad. Bourbon historian Chuck Cowdery describes the brand’s story as “one of the richest in bourbon country,” with distilling dynasties such as the Beam, Dant, Hayden, Taylor, Medley and Wathen families all having a hand in its production over the years.
