I visited a new liquor store and the manager at the store saw that I was looking at a bottle of BH and he recommended it highly. I found BH to be very smooth with a sweet and slight minty taste. I will give as xmas gifts this season.

Although, I had never sipped Basil Hayden's, I gave it to my friends for a gift and this year. Serendipitously, I received a bottle as a gift. How fortunate was that! Wonderful taste and very smooth, thank you for making this bourbon.

Excellent! My friend recommended BH, but held off until I finished my regular. Very happy with the upgrade. Smooth, sweet with good spicy finish. My cigar's new best friend

Hands down one of the best bourbons. The gentleman at the liquor store convinced me to try it. He actually had samples during a tasting—one shot and I was sold.

Almost the feel of expensive single malt scotch. Light and smooth. The kick is pleasant and not overwhelming. Goes well neat. The taste is little spicy at first sip but mellows down . Neatly packaged and presentable if you are taking it as a gift.

I was surprised that the bartender offered their old fashion using Basil Hayden. I have to say it was a nice experience having it for the first time. I'll buy BH for my next mixology. Can't wait to try it on the rocks.

smooth, great taste...drink it neat. My wife is not a bourbon drinker (prefers white wine)...she loves Basil, and despite not being a bourbon drinker, when she has it, she drinks BH neat

I was just recently was introduced to bourbon by some admitted whiskey snobs. When the bottle of Basi Hayden's was broken out, however, their attitudes changed and so did the amount in the bottle! What a great taste for a bourbon fan, new or old.

I have only discovered Basil Hayden over the last eight years but it is the smoothest bourbon I have ever tasted. The red wine casked Basil is even smoother.

As a Scotch drinker, tasting Basil Hayden's for the first time changed my opinion of Bourbons. Now I enjoy both Scotch & Bourbon with BH on the top of list for Bourbons!
