PROOF

THE ART OF AGING GRACEFULLY

Basil Hayden 10 Year Old Bourbon features the same high-rye bourbon recipe that Basil Hayden fans know and love, but the whiskey is aged in barrels longer to create another layer of complexity and deeper flavor.

The result of the extra aging is a distinct whiskey with big oak aromas along with hints of char and vanilla. Basil Hayden trademark spice shines through as the perfect complement to the caramel sweetness and wood flavors, making the whiskey a memorable one for fans and newcomers alike.

Serving neat or on-the-rocks allows the sweet caramel and vanilla notes that develop from 10 years in a newly charred American Oak barrel to shine, complementing the spicy flavors typical to Basil Hayden high-rye mashbill. This whiskey is light enough to examine on the palette without the burn associated with higher-proof whiskeys.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"Subtle smoke. Purchased for Old Fashions, but mixing this would be a sin, my new favorite sipper, too bad it's a limited batch!"

Brushy Bill Williams

Apple Valley CA

"Smooth Sipper. Amazingly complex for an 80 proof bourbon. Perfect as an evening sipper, highly recommended."

Georgetown, KY

"Basil Hayden no bite all flavor. I've tried many other higher priced bourbons that have horrible after taste. This is smooth and enjoyable during and after sipping it. I can't wait to try the 10 year old!"

Burlington, VT

"Light and smooth. I'm new to Basil Hayden. Being used to higher proof bourbons and smokier scotches, this one was a pleasant, light, and smooth drink. Well balanced and subtle. The oak is not too obvious and it's more in the sweet side of bourbon but very easy going."
