In the world of underrated bargain bourbons, it’s challenging to beat the appeal of Old Grand-Dad. The shining star of Jim Beam’s “Olds” line of whiskeys, Old Grand-Dad, Old Grand-Dad Bonded, and Old Grand-Dad 114 are all favorites among bartenders and drinkers alike. Recently, the brand announced that it would be adding a limited edition to its lineup: Old Grand-Dad 16-Year.

If you don’t know the history of Old Grand-Dad, let us enlighten you. The “Old Grand-Dad” on the bottle is none other than Basil Hayden (unsurprisingly, another well-known Jim Beam brand). First introduced in 1882, this whiskey line is just as popular today as ever. This couldn’t be clearer as the brand launched a limited-edition 16-year-old expression.

Old Grand-Dad 16-Year features the same high-rye mash bill as the other bourbons in this line. It begins with a mash bill of 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley. It’s matured new, charred American oak barrels for sixteen years (much longer than any other Old Grand-Dad expressions) before being bottled at a potent, memorable 100-proof.

It’s a complex, sippable, mixable whiskey crafted to pay tribute to this brand’s storied history in the bourbon world. The nose is a mix of fresh leather, caramelized sugar, and charred oak. The palate is a mix of pipe tobacco, toasted vanilla beans, peppery rye, sweet caramel, and charred oak. The finish is long, lingering, warm, and loaded with white pepper, cinnamon, and other wintry spices.
