Basil Hayden Bourbon

Type : Whiskey
ABV : 80
Producer : Beam Suntory
Country : United States
Size : 750ml
Description :

Basil Hayden's is the lightest bodied bourbon whiskey in the family of Jim Beam small batch bourbons. It is 80 proof in contrast with its three sibling brands of higher concentration (Knob Creek, Booker's, and Baker's). Hayden was also an accomplished distiller and used a larger amount of rye in his mash than in some other bourbons. The picture on the bottle is copied from a rendering of Basil Sr.'s likeness. When Beam Industries introduced their "small batch" collection, among the four was "Basil Hayden's", which supposedly uses a mash similar to that originally utilized by Hayden back in 1792.

Bright, clear medium amber 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 flower and vanilla that finishes clean with a lingering herbal spice.
