Old Grand-Dad 114 Bourbon 750ml

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Old Grand-Dad 114 Bourbon 750ml hits with a bold, warming rush that lingers like a favorite memory, filling the senses with notes of cinnamon spice, caramelized sugar, and toasted oak. Crafted in the United States and bottled at a robust 57.00% ABV, this high-proof bourbon delivers an unapologetic intensity balanced by hints of orange peel and peppery rye on the finish. Its full-bodied character stands up beautifully to smoky barbecue ribs or the bittersweet richness of dark chocolate, making it an ideal companion for hearty meals or late-night indulgence. With every pour, Old Grand-Dad 114 showcases classic American bourbon attributes—deep amber color, rich corn sweetness layered with rye-driven spice—offering both complexity and comfort in each glass.

Producer Information: Beam Suntory

Beam Suntory traces its roots to two distinct traditions: the American whiskey heritage of Kentucky and the Japanese art of distillation. Founded through the 2014 merger of Jim Beam, established in 1795 in Clermont, Kentucky, and Suntory, which began crafting spirits in Osaka in 1899, the company blends centuries-old bourbon craftsmanship with meticulous Japanese attention to detail. Their production philosophy emphasizes local terroir—Kentucky’s limestone-filtered water for bourbon and Japan’s pristine natural resources for whisky—while integrating innovative aging techniques such as Mizunara oak casks. Beyond their flagship bourbons and Japanese whiskies like Yamazaki and Hakushu, Beam Suntory produces a diverse portfolio including Courvoisier cognac from France’s Jarnac region, Laphroaig single malt from Islay’s peaty coastlines, Canadian Club whisky from Ontario, as well as Roku gin distilled with Japanese botanicals and Haku vodka crafted from local rice. This global approach allows them to maintain category-specific excellence while highlighting each location’s unique character in every bottle.
