Basil Hayden // Kentucky, USA
Basil Hayden is one of four Kentucky straight bourbons in the Beam Small Batch Collection, alongside Booker’s, Baker’s, and Knob Creek. While Basil Hayden, Sr.
is not featured on his namesake bottle, his likeness appears on every bottle of Old Grand-Dad, which uses the same high-rye mash bill recipe found here. This expression is the lowest proof in the collection, bottled at just 80 proof.

Tasting Notes
"Nose is evident of a higher rye content, pepper, rye, honeysuckle. Palate is dry and easy with light notes of brown sugar, leather and rye. Smooth, quick finish with honey, and some warmth."
