Basil Hayden's Kentucky Straight Bourbon - Classic Refinement

An Approachable Classic with Elevated Refinement – Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is celebrated for its balance, elegance, and unmistakable character. Crafted in the heart of Kentucky, this bourbon traces its roots to a traditional high-rye recipe that delivers a lighter body while preserving depth and complexity. Bottled at a gentle proof, it is designed to be welcoming without sacrificing authenticity, making it a staple for both seasoned bourbon drinkers and newcomers alike.

Tasting Experience
Aroma: Soft notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, layered with gentle spice and dried fruit.
Palate: Smooth and refined, featuring honeyed sweetness, light caramel, baking spices, and a subtle rye-driven warmth.
Finish: Clean and dry with lingering oak, black pepper, and a touch of sweetness.

Craftsmanship
Basil Hayden’s is produced using a carefully balanced mash bill with a higher rye content than many traditional bourbons, contributing to its signature spice and crisp profile. The whiskey is aged in new charred American oak barrels, allowing the flavors to develop gracefully while maintaining an easygoing, polished character.

Best Enjoyed
Ideal neat or over a single large ice cube to highlight its nuanced spice and smooth texture. It also performs beautifully in classic bourbon-forward cocktails where balance is key.
