Give friends and loved ones a proper introduction to Kentucky bourbon with a bottle of Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Tracing its origins to 18th-century distiller Meredith Basil Hayden Sr., the Basil Hayden brand is part of Jim Beam’s family of small-batch bourbons aimed at the high-end market. While known for its high-rye content, the bourbon itself is lighter compared to its brethren making it the perfect entry-level tipple for those new to the category.

Sophisticated and approachable, the Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers a well-rounded flavor profile that is as delectable as it is versatile. Made using the same high-rye corn mash created by Hayden Sr. in 1796, the whiskey is distilled and artfully aged in new, charred American oak for approximately 8 years to develop its distinctive flavor before finally being bottled at a healthy 80 proof for a more enjoyable drinking experience.

On the nose, the bourbon quickly goes to work imparting an intense nose of pepper, rye spice, cornbread, and honeysuckle. This paves the way for a milder though equally robust palate of more rye, brown sugar, roasted pear, barrel char, and toasty oak which neatly culminate in a short, smooth, and savory finish accented by lovely vegetal notes.

Delightfully delicate and sweet, the Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey redefines rye by offering a lighter, friendlier flavor profile that has made it such an appealing expression. So whether you’re looking to initiate a friend or loved one to the world of bourbon or want to treat an already avid fan to something new, don’t hesitate to send them a bottle of this one-of-a-kind expression today!
