Surprise at the Bourbon Bar

Sitting at a table of friends. One of us ordered Basil Hayden's Dark Rye. I had to ask. She started her comments and did the Bourbon swing shot. She put the glass in front of my face and asked me to "take a taste". One sip and my eyebrows lifted and were still lifted when I ordered my own glass immediately. It's been love ever since. The sweetest and tastiest Bourbon that ever crossed my lips.

Enjoy the mixed flavors...

With lower alcohol %, the mix of flavors can be enjoyed by straight sipping, as I prefer. Even enjoying the smell before the sip is not preceded by a harsh, pepper nose hit as in higher proofs. I am not a beginner to Bourbon, however I'm appreciating less (alcohol) is more enjoyment. So happy to have first experienced BH, '23 Thanksgiving in Newport, RI @ Fleming's steak house.

Pleasantly surprised

I normally prefer a mash that is corn dependent. A bourbon snob. And, rye is not a secondary choice. I like to try different products and openly admit my pleasure with the bottle of Hayden's I purchased extremely smooth, no aftertaste and one I will keep stocked.

Smooth and Refreshing

This is my drink of choice and I love introducing it to friends. It is gratifying to see others enjoy this as much as I do. My son's future father-in-law has adopted this as his favorite drink of choice as well after a fun evening together. We will surely share lots of Basil Hayden at the wedding in July.

Tried it bc bottle looked cool.

Saw good reviews on my 2A forum. Saw a pint at a really good price so I bought it. Room temperature, and drinking it near. Smells "immature", and you can smell the alcohol. Taste totally different. Taste like rye and is sweet. Probably better with ice or dash of water, but then I'll drink it too fast. It good and definitely worth a try.

Great Bourbon

The best Bourbon. However, you do not need the metal BH band around the bottle. It looks like a COCO Channel woman's belt around the bottle. Men prefer something more simple. Also it probably increases your overhead. Trust your quality which stands on its own.

Strictly Irish...with one exception. Basil Hayden's.

From the north country of Vermont along the Canadian border, where winters are long, dark and fridged. Irish whiskey flows through my veins as can be traced to my homeland in Cork Ireland what keeps me warm. On a recent business trip to Chicago in late summer, I strolled into a local recommended spot. They served a summer whiskey drink called the Hayden berry, came highly praised. Not my usual Irish on a single rock, I pulled long gulps on a hot summer day. Pleasantly surprised and refreshed I strolled along. In weeks to follow I found myself back in the north country of Vermont...with a bottle of Basil Hayden's in my locker and a secret recipe obtained through a covert phone conversation with a bar hand that shall remain nameless.

My new go-to Bourbon

I hadn't had bourbon in years, decades actually. In prep for Christmas 2017 I asked the staff at our local liquor store which bourbon they'd recommend. I went home with Woodford Reserve which I found terrific - nice on the nose, smooth and slightly sweet in the mouth. We enjoyed that bottle and I decided to try something new again - this time it was Basil Hayden's. It's everything my Woodford was, but with a tad more intensity. I think the BH will be my winter 2018 quaff of choice.

Amazing whiskey

I'm fairly new to the whiskey scene, and I try everything I can find to try to ascertain the different flavors. This product is my favorite thus far, exceeding the Scotches and Irish whiskeys I've tried. The flavor is truly different and unique. I highly recommend it.
