| The unique recipe for this premium bourbon is said to date back to 1796, when Basil Hayden Sr. himself was a master distiller. Carefully crafted using a larger percentage of rye and barley in the mash than most bourbons, this mild whiskey has a unique flavour profile. Aged eight years in Kentucky hillside rack houses, it s a round textured, full bodied bourbon with warm spice, toffee, sweet corn and toasted wood aromas and flavours. Sip it straight or with a splash of water. |
