Old Grand Dad 'Bottled in Bond' Kentucky Straight Bourbon - 1955 Vintage

Distilled by National Distillers and bottled under the strict Bottled in Bond Act, this 1955 Old Grand-Dad represents a style of bourbon production largely lost to time. Produced before the Beam acquisition and prior to the 1962 increase in legal barrel entry proof, these early National Distillers-era bottlings are prized for their dense texture, concentrated flavor, and distinctly old-school profile. The bourbon is believed to follow the historic high-rye mash bill of approximately 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley — a notably rye-forward recipe during an era when most distilleries had already softened their bourbons for mainstream appeal.
