Old Grand-Dad is a brand that dates back to 1882. In that time, it has been owned by several different companies, including the American Medicinal Spirits Co. during Prohibition which allowed the whiskey to be produced and sold through pharmacies for medicinal purposes. Note: There is an 86 proof which will still be available in many liquor stores. That has been replaced by this 80 proof version.

Tasting Notes
"Despite the recent reduction in proof, the flavor profile is still intact. The aroma is that of flat vanilla coke with just the slightest hint of char smoke. The mid-palate is full of apple and cherry skins and while the finish lasts about the as long as it takes to blink an eye, it is pleasant while it lasts."
