Basil Hayden 10 Year Bourbon

Disclaimer: I came into this drink as a Basil Hayden’s hater. I get pear cider on the nose. Body delivers on the cider flavor without the sweetness. Very dry mouth feel with a very short, minty finish. It’s a one-trick-pony, and unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of the trick. The pear cider flavor is artificial and industrial, not tart, sweet, nor fresh. I prefer this to standard Basil Hayden’s, but there’s just too many better things out there to justify this purchase again in the future.

Very nice!!

Citrus and mint? Very strong alcohol.
