Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Artfully aged at a relatively mild 80 proof, Basil Hayden’s is as novel and delectable a bourbon whiskey as it was when the master distiller rolled out his first barrel over 200 years ago. Marked by a rich cascade of aromas and flavors, Basil Hayden’s is still a small batch bourbon, but with broader appeal.

Nose: Bright peaches and ripe mixed berries jump right out. Further hunting brings forth light traces of oak, orange zest, and a smidge of white pepper. The scents are on the lighter side overall due to the low proof, yet they’re still easy to identify and appreciate.

Palate : The palate is understandably light due to the 80 proof that Beam bottles this at. Light vanilla, new wood, and peaches mingle together and form the entirety of the palate. While the 80 proof makes this incredibly easy to sip, the mouthfeel is noticeably thin, and even at the bottling proof, this seems lighter than average.

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.

Artfully aged at a relatively mild 80 proof, Basil Hayden’s is as novel and delectable a bourbon whiskey as it was when the master distiller rolled out his first barrel over 200 years ago. Marked by a rich cascade of aromas and flavors, Basil Hayden’s is still a small batch bourbon, but with broader appeal. And just as it was in 1796, the only ‘rule’ to enjoying our Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight bourbon whiskey is that it should be done responsibly. Golden amber color. Spice, tea, hint of pepper­mint spice. Spicy, peppery, honey, light-bodied, gentle bite. Dry, clean, brief finish.

Wine Enthusiast

The initial sniffing detects dull, limp scents of wet cardboard and parchment; with only meek, ripe and sweet grain and timid yellow fruit aromas added after aeration. The palate of Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight is moderately spicy and nicely grainy, but then at mid-palate the taste becomes seed-like and mildly grainy. Drinkable but average.
