Basil Hayden's Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey 8 Year Old
Out of stock
It’s made using a high-rye mash bill that pays homage to early American distiller Basil Hayden Sr. and is known for a lighter, more approachable style compared with other small batch bourbons.
Lightly matured in charred new American oak, it shows a delicate balance of rye spice and gentle sweetness, with notes of cracked black pepper, subtle citrus zest and soft vanilla on a smooth, medium-length finish. At 40 % ABV, this bourbon is easy to sip neat, on the rocks or in classic cocktails.
