Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke (2022 Release)

Smoky, vanilla, not much else. Almost burnt.

Id come to arrange a holiday when I met Mr. Smokesalot. Despite the name, there was nothing subtle about the bbq grill taste of this whiskey. Im not a fan of smoke in my drink so take my review with s grain of salt and take this whiskey with something strong to chase away the chimney feeling afterward.

Finishes like good BBQ

Sweet smoke but not too much burn

Light hints of vanilla with subtle, not overpowering smoke from start to finish. With such a great flavor and only at an 80 proof this is a very drinkable bourban. I find most bourbans at this low of proof lacking flavor, this is what i would imagine exactly what they wanted!
