Basil Hayden's 10 Years Bourbon

Basil Hayden's 10 Year Bourbon is a meticulously crafted high-rye bourbon that undergoes a decade-long aging process in newly charred American oak barrels. This extended maturation imparts a rich golden amber hue and infuses the spirit with pronounced oak aromas, complemented by subtle hints of char and vanilla. On the palate, the bourbon offers a harmonious balance of oak, caramel sweetness, and the distinctive spice characteristic of its high-rye mashbill. The finish is elegantly smooth, featuring a gentle smokiness with a delicate touch of char. Bottled at 80 proof, this bourbon is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing its complex flavors to unfold gracefully.
