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.
Cracked black pepper, rye, and oaky spice. Hints of green pepper, lemon peels, and creamy, zesty lemon curd.
Rice Krispies, toasted cereal progressing to popcorn with gentle marshmallow, custard cream sweetness.
Toasty popcorn with lashings of butter!

It has a smooth taste and pairs well with a mixer or just straight. Not too sweet and has a round flavour. I'd definitely try it again and drink with friends.
A great aroma and once a big chunk of ice is added to open it up, its silky smooth. Tried with ginger ale - sweet and smooth taste.
perfectly drinkable but to my taste rather one dimensional, if you want a whiskey with character this is not the best option for you
This drink has really surprised me. It has a nice aroma and the flavor is not strong and you can notice a lot of nuances. It's very good. I have enjoyed it cold and alone, without ice. But it can be perfectly combined with other drinks. It is a perfect drink to take after a hard day of work, to disconnect, relax and rest.
After a long day's work, a glass with a few ice cubes and this poured over neat, perfect way to relax and forget about everything. If you're looking for a deep, strong whisky I don't think this is yours but instead a nice mellow fruity taste with a hint of smoked wood to it. I've not tried it in cocktails but would imagine it will be decent due to it not overpowering the other ingredients. Indefinitely plan on relaxing with a glass of this in future !
