Part of the  Heaven Hill Distilleries family of brands.
Tasting Notes
Nose: An inviting aroma of caramel and sweet maple syrup is balanced with hints of oak and a light, floral corn essence.
Palate: A crisp, light-bodied palate delivers straightforward flavors of sweet caramel, vanilla, and oak, with just a hint of nutty character.
Finish: The finish is smooth, with lingering warmth and a dry, roasted nuttiness that gives way to subtle charred oak.
Basil Hayden Aged 10 Years Old
Basil Hayden 10 Year Old Bourbon features the same high-rye bourbon recipe that Basil Hayden fans know and love, but the whiskey is aged in barrels longer to create another layer of complexity and deeper flavor. The result of the extra aging is a distinct whiskey with big oak aromas along with hints of char and vanilla. Basil Hayden trademark spice shines through as the perfect complement to the caramel sweetness and wood flavors, making the whiskey a memorable one for fans and newcomers alike. Serving neat or on-the-rocks allows the sweet caramel and vanilla notes that develop from 10 years in a newly charred American Oak barrel to shine, complementing the spicy flavors typical to Basil Hayden high-rye mashbill. This whiskey is light enough to examine on the palette without the burn associated with higher-proof whiskeys.
