Bad Dog Distillery's Grandpa's Rye is made with premium rye and corn. The corn mellows and sweetens the natural harshness of rye, making it a smooth and drinkable rye whiskey. This aged Rye Whiskey is both sweet and spicy, with a bit of fruity notes. Grandpa's Rye is best enjoyed over ice or in a classic Manhattan.

You will quickly learn Dave’s passion for making the quality whiskey using simple old fashion ways.
Owner and founder, Dave McGlothern, is the master distiller at Bad Dog Distillery. Dave started learning the science of distilling at a young age. He was intrigued after witnessing some old fashion whiskey making.
Fast forward 35 years, Dave along with his wife Shelly built his own distillery. Being true to his values, he did not buy an “off-the-shelf” still. No, Dave used his craftsman metal working skills and built his own.
Dave’s curiosity for distilling has turned into a passion to make the best whiskey. He delights working with different grains to create unique blends that are full flavored. Dave’s boldness to experiment using non-conventional grains will undoubtedly produce award winning spirits
