Basil Hayden’s 10 Year Old 750ml

Description

95 Points 2020 New York International Spirits Competition

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 flavour.

The result of the extra ageing 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 flavours, 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 flavours typical to Basil Hayden high-rye mash bill. This whiskey is light enough to examine on the palette without the burn associated with higher-proof whiskeys.

Aroma: Big oak, hints of char, vanilla and rye

Taste: Oak balanced by caramel sweetness and rye spice

Finish: Lightly smoky with a subtle hint of char
