Basil Hayden’s - 10yr old bourbon
Bottle completed
Appearance / Color
Light gold
Nose / Aroma / Smell
Doses of summer fruits and oak. Additionally, there’s a light hint of honeyed vanilla added to the mix.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Continues to be light due to the 80 proof that Beam bottles this at. The good news is that this lower proof really allows you to roll the sip around in your mouth for a long time to try to pick out flavors.
Finish
Light oak dominates with an ever-so-slight touch of sweetness.
The Haydens were God-fearing pilgrims that moved to the Land of the Free in the 1660s. One of their descendants was Basil Hayden, an innovative Master Distiller who one day in 1796 decided the traditional corn-based mash bill for the Bourbon' should contain some rye. His bold move paid off as the tippling folks were absolutely crazy about the novelty, changing the course of Bourbon history forever. Doc Brown to 1992, when Jim Beam introduced their small batch collection of four Bourbons, naming one of them Basil Hayden's. The modern iteration uses a mash bill similar to the one Basil came up with back in the day. Light oak dominates with an ever-so-slight touch of sweetness.
