Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke (2022 Release)

Nose of almond, toasted wood, and butterscotch with a little smoke as the name would suggest. Not a lot to the taste. It has some smoke to it and very muted Basil flavors but nothing really stands out and it fades quickly. A bit lackluster.

Disgusting. Could barely swallow the first sip. Waited a few, took another sip and spit it out. My first drain pour ever after literally hundreds of other whiskey tastings. This bottle will be fine for mixing drinks, but that's about it.

I enjoyed this… try a pour before buying a bottle

Unfortunately the smoke feels so forced into the bourbon that it masks everything else for me. At 80% it just can’t show it self with that smoke. I appreciate Basil Hayden for what it is.

Beautiful bottle and great taste. Drink it straight

Straight: Alright Water: Not Good Ice: Terrible Smells really good!
