Basil Hayden is a Small Batch bourbon from Kentucky, known for its smoothness and delicate aromas. This American whiskey is unique in containing a higher proportion of rye than most bourbons, giving it distinct spicy notes. Basil Hayden is appreciated for its subtle aromas of vanilla, caramel, pepper, and mint, with a soft, slightly spicy finish. It’s often recommended for those new to whiskey or who prefer a milder, more accessible style.
Nose: Soft with aromas of vanilla, caramel, and honey. Spicy notes of rye, cinnamon, and a hint of black pepper emerge, with a touch of citrus.
Palate: Light and silky. Caramel and vanilla dominate, followed by spices like pepper and cinnamon.
Finish: Medium and smooth. Lingering notes of caramel, a bit of oak, and spices that gradually fade.
THE BRAND
Basil Hayden is part of the Jim Beam distillery’s range of bourbons, one of the most famous in Kentucky. The brand honors Basil Hayden Sr., an 18th-century distiller. In 1796, he created a unique bourbon style by using a higher percentage of rye than other bourbons of the time. This innovation gave rise to a spicier bourbon, a signature characteristic of the brand today.
