Basil Haydan’s Original Bourbon 750ml

Basil Hayden’s was originally promoted as part of Jim Beam’s Small Batch Bourbon. Basil Hayden’s is unique in that it is produced from a distilling mash which has an especially high rye content, twice as much rye in fact as would normally be used in a Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey. The whiskey is aged in American white oak for 8 years, and then bottled at 40 % alcohol by volume.

Nose: Charred oak and sweet notes of vanilla caramel with hints of dried fruits.

Taste: Charred oak flavor that is complemented with sweet brown sugar, a touch of black pepper, and dried fruit to round it out.
