Process & Profile

Old Grand-Dad 16 Year is a limited-release 2024 expression that resurrects the legacy of high-rye, long-aged bourbon. Distilled by Beam Suntory, it uses the brand’s hallmark mash bill—estimated at 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley—and is aged for 16 years in new charred American oak barrels. Bottled at 100 proof and non-chill filtered, it offers a bold yet refined experience reflective of its extensive aging.
