Basil Hayden Bourbon

The small batch Kentucky straight bourbon honours the legacy of Meredith Basil Hayden, Sr., who back in the 1790s was known to use more rye in his mashbill than other distillers. (He's also the chap that Old Grand-Dad bourbon is named after.) Crafted by the great Booker Noe in 1992, Basil Hayden bourbon utilises a similar mashbill as its namesake would have used, with high rye but a lighter take on the style.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Cracked black pepper, rye, and oaky spice. Hints of green pepper, lemon peels, and creamy, zesty lemon curd.

Palate Rice Krispies, toasted cereal progressing to popcorn with gentle marshmallow, custard cream sweetness.

Finish Toasty popcorn with lashings of butter!

Reviews for Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon
disappointed
I expect a better bourbon, i have disappointed It was not smooth despite most of the reviews mention "smooth"

Good+1, strong+1 and pure+1 bourbon. Smiled simple, smoothly drunk, there is spread of quick taste when shot or tip+2. Not enough complexity-1.

Delicious
A unique light bourbon recommended to be drunk without ice. There is no long aftertaste that lingers so definitely a good choice for more than one round. Syper noble taste - twice as spicy and caramel. The bottle looks very nice and can be a great gift.

Smooth Bourbon
This is a very light and smooth bourbon that, on the sweeter palate, is very easy to drink. Long term whisky fans many find it less interesting. Recommended as a good cocktail spirit that avoids the need for additional sweeteners such as gimme syrup and vermouth. #freesample

A beautiful bottle, perfect for a gift. The taste is intense but also refined. Perfect for drinks but also to drink with ice cubes. I recommend. It will stay with me for a long time

Smooth and deep flavour
Very good bourbon, with an exceptionally smooth taste when drank on its own. Works well as a mixer for cocktails too, with a deep but not overpowering flavour. Would recommend.

Sweet and smooth
Initially upon tasting, I found this to be smooth albeit too sweet. However, I persevered and after a while more I found it to have a bit more depth than the initial taste which was good. My preference is to have this neat with a single cube of ice as I found that with a mixer it lost the subtleties of the flavour. It's nice and easy drinking so I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Good Bourbon Whiskey
A nice bourbon but a little rough on the palette and not as smooth as I'd like. The bottle was well presented and the added embossed metal collar gives it that extra touch of class. It is an acquired taste so may not suit all.

Love it
This was the first time I had tried this brand of whiskey and I certainly wasn't disappointed. It was great served over ice and very enjoyable as a longer drink served with coke. It is smooth and warming. I will definitely be buying it again.

Hadn’t tried this brand before and found it very smooth. Really lovely flavour with mixer or without. Would definitely go on to purchase this so very happy to have tried it.
