Description

Basil Hayden's is a light, inviting Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, part of Jim Beam's Small Batch Collection. It was created in 1992 by 6th-Generation Jim Beam Master Distiller Frederick "Booker" Noe, inspired by the 1792 high-rye mash bill of Meredith Basil Hayden Sr. This bourbon is known for its distinctive spicy finish and approachable flavor profile, featuring a mash bill of 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley. It is "Artfully Aged" in new, charred American oak barrels and bottled at 40% ABV.
