Basil Hayden Toast Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The latest permanent release from Basil Hayden consists of an entirely new brown rice mashbill and a secondary finish in toasted barrels. The result is a bourbon with less spice, and deepened notes of sweet caramel with a bright, light mouthfeel.

Basil Hayden Toast delivers an intriguing avenue into the warm, refined bourbon sipping occasion. It’s more subtle, more interesting, and ultimately way more approachable, which is exactly what Basil is all about.

A sip of bourbon, like any conversation worth indulging in, feels fleeting in real time but lingers in the memory and has lasting effects. Basil Hayden Toast brings complexity and deeper flavor to any table, no matter where the conversation takes you.

This 80-proof whiskey consists of an entirely new mashbill, replacing the traditional rye grain with brown rice, which adds a hint of sweetness and a touch less spice with increased depth of flavor that comes from secondary aging in a toasted then flash-charred oak barrel.
