Tasting note

The recipe for this classic Bourbon dates back to 1796. Amber in colour; on the nose are notes of dried apricot, caramel, custard, green peppercorn and hay; on the palate it is medium-bodied and warming, with flavours of white pepper, burnt sugar, dried white flowers and vanilla that finishes with a lingering herbal spice.

Enriched by a hint of peppermint, it impresses with notes of pepper balanced by slight citrus overtones, and a spicy, warming finish.

Basil Hayden's is a singular bourbon that bridges the flavour of rye whiskies and small batch bourbons together. Basil Hayden's impresses with notes of pepper balanced by slight citrus overtones, and a spicy, warming finish. Aged eight years at a smooth 80-proof, this bourbon has a broad appeal and is equally enjoyable alone or in cocktails.

As featured in Taste Magazine, Spring 2013. Named after Basil Hayden Sr., a pioneer distiller who led twenty-five Catholic families from Maryland to Kentucky, this small batch, eight-year aged bourbon is mellow and smooth. It’s great enjoyed neat, or in your favourite cocktail.
