Red Dragon Tattoo

I was lucky enough to find this wonderful tasting whiskey because of this song! Where the Basil Hayden name is clearly mentioned and I had no idea who Basil Hayden was! So I simply googled his name and low and behold I know have a new favorite whiskey! Thank you Basil Hadyencand Thank you Fountains of Wayne for including Basil's name in your song Red Dragon Tattoo. I much happier because of you both!

The gift

I was given a bottle of Basil Hayden's as a gift in exchange for a custom bicycle I had built and given to one of my most respected partners. I cherished the bottle unopened, but when I finally opened it...and tasted it, I became a fan for life. I will always look for it on the wall of a fine establishment, enjoy it slowly with special people and cherish the memories it brings.....

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.

Basil Hayden's / Bourbon and Rye

By way of qualification, I was introduced to the alcoholic beverage world by my Dad who was a terrific mixologist and restaurant owner. After which I worked in the industry with some of the largest manufacturers and purveyors of spirits (and wines) for a number of years (I am now 74 and have owned my own company for 40 years). As a student of the spirits (American blended whiskey, Canadian whisky, Scotch, Irish, etc., I became a fan of good bourbons; preferring a smooth taste but not an alcoholic "head buster" (as in 90 proof, etc). I was introduced to Basil Hayden's Bourbon this past year and fell in love with it; great taste, smooth and well balanced. I drink it "neat" or on the rocks. However, I just came across your new Basil Hayden's Rye and now have another love! It is fantastic! Both are now my "go to" whiskey products.

Will share this brand with friends

Have been a Crown guy for years, but tried my first Basil Hayden drink night before last. It was my first of several over the next two nights. Very smooth bourbon that is great by itself on the rocks or mixed in a cocktail like an Old Fashion. Will be buying a bottle for my cabinet and will be replacing Crown with it as my new favorite whiskey.

Love this stuff

I have been a bourbon drinker all my life. My grandfather was a Tennessee farmer who introduced me to bourbon at a early age. I am now 72 I have enjoyed many different bourbon. but this small batch bourbon is my favorite. Love this stuff just straight up or with a little ice.

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.
