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.
