Tastes

Nose: Sweet, honey, Golden Grahams and graham cracker - light cherry with some floral notes (not a specific flower just a meadow of wildflowers) Taste: light and creamy, after a few sips an oaky/wood flavor- some burn that elevates over time. Still get that golden graham and honey flavor from the nose Finish: no burn, but the sweetness stays with you for a while There is a lot here in a 90 proof and so good

I can see why Basil Hayden’s is loved and hated by people. I think this is a really solid weekday sipper or used for cocktails. Very buttery and brown sugar are flavors in the taste. Finish is pretty short and not much heat. For $30 to have as a starter bourbon for a tasting night or your go to when having a cocktail this is really solid and straight forward bourbon. If wanting to taste a more complex bourbon, this is perfect to warm up for your taste buds to get ready for something more complex.

Nose - seems pretty light for the strength, get hints of oak, spice and some creaminess - after adding one ice cube the creaminess comes out more Taste is really hot and spicy really difficult to pull much else from it - after the ice cube I get a little honey, but still pretty hot Finish lots of warmth a burn and based on the taste not as overwhelming as I would have thought

The nose is bursting with sweetness, vanilla, honey and a combination of strawberry and watermelon starburst The palate on this brings the same sweetness more strawberry vanilla cream just a touch of heat and spice Finish is very mellow and brief - feel it more on tongue than gums and cheeks Just a great bottle

Nose - oh my goodness what an amazing nose, honey, brown sugar, caramel apple Palate - starts off pretty sweet, honey + brown sugar and then after a few seconds a very warm spice hits and stays with you until the finish Finish - a pleasant hot, just want to sip in front of the fire with some music - tingles the gums for a little bit which I love

Nose - get sweet/spicy cinnamon like big red and sweetness comes through Palate - cinnamon, honey, and maybe a little bit of juicy fruit a nice and balanced heat - soft on the tongue and great moutfeel Finish - love the finish as it goes down perfect length and enough to keep you warm

Nose brings corn at the front but not over powering, very sweet and floral pick up Corn Pops and maybe some circus peanuts Corn is front and center, sweet...honey and caramel Very mellow and soft finish

Very sweet nose with a lot of dessert fruit. Really nice Taste brings that same dessert flavor, brownie, caramel and chocolate covered cherries Finish is still sweet, but feels and tastes like pop rocks

Want to start by saying that I’m just not a fan of Ryes....did this convert me? No but there are enjoyable parts that will make me not automatically turn away from Ryes Really nice and pleasant nose so get a nice rye spice smell with some earthy-ness. Palate is really clean and brings the same earthy-ness and spice from the nose. A little burn that may be off putting to a non-rye seasoned taster. Do get some sweetness which was unexpected and enjoyable Finish - nice finish that stings a little bit on the sides of your tongue but and is medium in length

Nose just a heavy hit of strawberry some floral Taste - splash of cream, floral taste very sweet but getting some burn that can be somewhat off putting Finish - I love the finish on this one strong and stays with you but very soft
