Modern, Beam-produced Old Grand-Dad is a quality value pour but older, National Distillers releases are recognized as the most sought after for the brand. Once thought of as an interesting dusty you could pick up relatively cheap, vintage Old Grand-Dad has been gaining momentum amongst drinkers and collectors for years.

Did You Know? The face on every bottle of Old Grand-Dad is actually that of Basil Hayden Sr., the grandfather of the original creator of the brand, Raymond B. Hayden. Interestingly, Booker Noe—while working for Jim Beam—created the Basil Hayden brand as a nod to Basil Sr. and his contributions to the industry.
