Description

Basil Hayden's Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a light and approachable high-rye bourbon, part of Jim Beam's Small Batch Collection. Created in 1992 by Master Distiller Frederick “Booker” Noe, it is inspired by the 1792 whiskey pioneer Meredith Basil Hayden Sr. It offers a balanced profile of warm spice, toasted oak, and a hint of honey sweetness, with a gentle peppery kick and a smooth, clean finish. Bottled at 80 proof, it is designed to be inviting and approachable for both new and seasoned bourbon drinkers, suitable for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.
