Basil Hayden's Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 10 Year Old
In stock
A light array of flavors greets you as you bring the glass to your nose. Light oak and vanilla are prominent, with a slight hint of peanuts and bananas foster in the background when you inhale a little deeper. The 80 proof is evident here as all of the scents, while fine, are more mellow than you’d like them to be.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold with a sunlit straw hue, a whisper of amber at the edge; bright, clear and refined.
Nose
Delicate and inviting, this nose offers a whisper of oak and vanilla, lightly toasted and creamy. Subtle notes of roasted peanuts drift in, with hints of bananas foster in the background as you inhale deeper. A restrained, mellow aromatic profile that speaks of refinement and balance rather than intensity.
Palate
Soft, refined palate with gentle oak and vanilla taking center stage. Subtle peanut and banana foster hints weave in, lending a quiet sweetness. At 40% ABV it remains approachable, finishing with clean, easy warmth and a delicate, lingering softness.
Finish
Silky and poised, the finish carries a quiet warmth that lingers. Subtle oak and vanilla broaden into a soft nutty echo, with a delicate banana-foster sweetness tracing the palate. At 40% ABV the finish stays light and refined, leaving a clean, lightly spiced fade and a final whisper of sweetness.
