Basil Haydens Bourbon 700mL
Basil Hayden's Bourbon has a light amber colour. Sweet corn, toffee, nuts, and charred wood aromas have a lean edge. Round, vibrant entry leads to a dry medium-to full-bodied palate with somewhat lean oak, corn, and caramel flavours. Finishes with a warm wave of toffee, spice, and drying wood.
Artfully aged in Kentucky hillside rickhouses then bottled at a smooth 80 proof (40% ABV), Basil Haydens Bourbon is aged 8 years (although the age statement seems to have been removed). Basil Haydens sophisticated taste remains true to the old family recipe with more rye than traditional Kentucky bourbons, producing an extremely smooth and rich style of Bourbon.

Basil Haydens Bourbon
The recipe of this smooth but spicy bourbon dates back to 1796, when Basil Hayden himself was a master distiller and George Washington was President. Hayden was born and raised in Maryland, where he learned to make whisky from rye. When he came to Kentucky, Hayden began making whiskey from a base of corn, but added a higher percentage of rye than other distillers, resulting in a smooth, mild bourbon that was distinctly his own.Basil Haydens Bourbon Tasting Notes and Awards
Basil Hayden's is a singular bourbon that bridges the flavours of spicy rye whiskies and sweet small batch bourbon. It displays aromas of spice, tea, and peppermint, while on the palate, spicy and peppery notes lead into a honeyed sweetness.
