Tastes

If you enjoy the other Basil Hayden brands you are going to love this! If you are not a fan or on the fence about their other release try it at a bar or a liquor store sampling. I personally have not been a huge fan of their past release, but I will say I do enjoy this a bit. Basil Hayden has always been bourbon light in my eyes. But this has more depth, aroma and a palate worthy being expressed at least once on every bourbon lover’s tongue. This will not be a constant purchase for me. But I think at least once a year particularly dog days of summer sipper. Light enough to sip all day aromas and a palate that will make you look forward to fall.

Aroma is salty, peanuts, toffee walnuts and banana bread little black pepper and maple Rich, oily, full and but on the lighter end of that all for the mouthfeel Palate transfers a lot of that over but plus apples. It’s hot, but it makes a good sipper. 100% will buy this again and to get at a place in walking distance for $11.99 🤣

Solid Rye! Very promising young distillery out of Missouri. Hope to see non sourced products sooner than later.

Great single malt! Definitely worth buying a bottle and forming your own opinion.

Great product from an newer distillery! I can’t wait to see what they are putting in a few more years when they consistently produce rye 4 years old and older.

Gets the job done to share with a friend before an hardcore, punk or metal show! Particularly The Lawrence Arms, Every Time I Die and Black Sabbath

I can’t get past the fact that the aroma and transfer to palate has a super strong note of sunscreen. The body is quite nice and I can pull other things out of it but that one note just really ruins the rest of the experience for me.
