Honestly if tasting this and basil Hayden’s blind I hardly tell a difference and at 12.99-14.99 a 750 I always choose this! Yeah maybe the basil Hayden’s is “aged longer” however I’m yet to believe it since basil isn’t age stated and in blind tastings the two haven’t been picked apart correctly more than half the time. What can I say it’s 80 proof and I hold 80 proof stuff in low regard taste wise but this atleast has some flavor
