Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a lighter-bodied, high-rye bourbon created by Booker Noe in 1992 as part of the Small Batch collection. Charred oak and vanilla-caramel sweetness are balanced by brown sugar, black pepper, and dried fruit, giving it an approachable style with enough spice to remain distinctly bourbon.
