Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

There’s nothing like that first sip of Basil Hayden®, or any sip that follows.
Crafted in 1992 by Booker Noe as part of the Small Batch collection, Basil Hayden introduced a more subtle side of bourbon compared to its counterparts.

This style of bourbon was inspired by 1792 whiskey pioneer Meredith Basil Hayden, Sr., a rye farmer from Maryland who moved to Kentucky and began distilling. He chose to distill his bourbon with a higher percentage of rye, and Booker set out to create a similar high-rye mash bill that would offer the same refined, approachable taste profile.

Tasting Notes

• Taste: Charred oak flavor that is complemented with sweet brown sugar, a touch of black pepper, and dried fruit to round it out
• Finish: A pleasant, lingering charred oak finish with a touch of dried fruit
• Color: Golden brown
