Best Christmas Gift

I had gotten this as Christmas gift from my roommate, he knows I love tasting and enjoying new whiskeys here and there. He handed me this bottle and I had to give it a sip straight up. I'm not particularly found of spicy notes but Basil Hayden wasn't all to powerful, it was quite smooth and very crisp if that would make some sense. Very enjoyable whiskey straight up but I've found it very refreshing to enjoy on the rocks.

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.

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.

Favorite Bourbon by miles

While i enjoy a number of whiskeys, bourbons, scotches etc. Basil Hayden's remains my favorite and my go-to for any event or party. Clean, easy to drink, and a smooth and buttery profile with a hint of spice on the finish is an excellent bourbon. with a more than reasonable price point im continually astonished at the quality and complexity. and the ability for straight enjoyment or as a high class base for a number of wonderful cocktails.

Pleasantly surprised

I have tried many bourbons from price points of $30. to $200. a bottle but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised at the fine flavors of this bourbon. I will definitely put this bourbon into my top ten list. I was introduced to this bourbon by a very close friend who said,"You will not be disappointed by this bourbon." Thank you!!

A Revelation as to what a truly good bourbon should be.

An old friend and fellow enjoyer of bourbon gave me a bottle of the dark rye. He told me it was special and he was right! I have to say I was pleasantly surprised how good it is. I've been regularly buying it again and again. This is what old friends are for and I'm thinking Basel Hayden's bourbons are going to become old friends of mine too.

This is the stuff

I have been a whiskey neat drinker for awhile now, everything from scotches to Canadian whiskeys. Over the last 10 months I have really been enjoying Kentucky Straight bourbon. I've had a lot of them! I have a small glass every night just as a night cap. Basil Hayden's has been on my list for awhile, and man does it hold up. This Kentucky straight is a fantastic neat whiskey; smooth and full bodied. I will be buying this again, and it will be going on the top shelf in my bar.

Incredibly Smooth & Delicious, Amazing Value

I just enjoyed my first ever sip of Basil Hayden at wonderful establishment in Morton WA (Willow Creek) Where thankfully their bartender recommended and I can totally see why...it's most definitely one of the most smooth and flavorful whiskey I've ever enjoyed, well done, Cheers!!

Great taste. Great finish in a Manhattan.

I'm always a WoodFord Manhattan guy but went to a tasting dinner at Main Street wine bar in Pennsylvania and was enjoying the different varieties. Brought home a bottle and I am thoroughly enjoying my Manhattans. I love the spicy finish that lingers after a good sip! I'll definitely be getting more and exploring the whole line. Eric
