Distillery Bottling

Basil Hayden's Bourbon has a high rye content (30%) in the mashbill which makes this drier and spicier than your average bourbon. It is incredibly easy going and would be a good introduction to the delights of the other Jim Beam range and a prelude to trying straight rye. A mellow and easy drinking Bourbon and a real mint-chocolate festival in your mouth.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Pale straw gold with a subtle warm amber glow.

Nose

Rye-forward and dry, the nose unfolds peppery spice with clove and white pepper, lifted by citrus zest and a touch of vanilla. A light oak whispers in the background, keeping the aroma crisp, refined, and inviting as Basil Hayden’s eases into the palate.

Palate

Rye-forward and dry, with peppery spice that stays balanced by a mellow, easy-drinking texture. Subtle mint-chocolate notes weave through the palate, delivering a cool lift and a clean, lingering finish.

Finish

Dry, refined finish with a lasting rye-spice lift, followed by cool hints of mint and cocoa. Subtle vanilla and oak warmth lingers, leaving a clean, mint-chocolate finale.

Basil Hayden's
Basil Hayden was created in 1992 by Booker Noe as part of Jim Beam’s Small Batch Bourbon Collection. It is named after Meredith Basil Hayden Sr., a Maryland-born farmer-distiller who moved to Kentucky and became associated with a higher-rye bourbon style. The brand keeps that link through a lighter, high-rye Kentucky straight bourbon designed to sit apart from the fuller, higher-proof styles of Booker’s, Baker’s and Knob Creek.
