An experiment gone awesome.
Back in the days when George Washington was the first U.S. President and Kentucky State only but 4 years old, Basil Hayden was hard at work experimenting with the inner workings of Bourbon.
“You can take the boy out of Maryland, but not Maryland out of the boy?”….Mr. Hayden’s early exposure to Rye in Maryland gave rise to a certain playful curiosity. Later in Kentucky he started making corn based Bourbon but with a higher percentage of Rye, with the result being a different, smooth Bourbon that to this day remains truly distinctive.
Basil Hayden's Bourbon Whiskey has been aged for 8 years in new American oak barrels. It is made from a grain mixture that is more than half corn, the rest is harmony of barley and rye. To add to this there are also a number of finer ingredients that highlight the attention detail of this small batch craftsmanship, but without overly affecting its broader Bourbon appeal. Basil’s Bourbon took risks bucking the prevailing trend 200 years ago, thankfully even today it still stands out as being different and bucking away!
Andy Warhol “Art is anything you can get away with” was an American artist and leading figure of the visual art movement known as “Pop Art”. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement during which they flourished in the 1960s. Being creative on many fields he worked with different celebrities and rock stars too, such as Lou Reed & the Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones and many others. He lived a vivid life, nightlife included which often saw him willfully succumb to one of his favourite drinks, Bourbon.
Is it any wonder that his lifelong city of residence, New York also gave birth to the Manhattan cocktail?

Michael,
My favorite bargain whiskey. Great straight up or in an old fashion
Kevin,
Great spirit for its price point. A sweater taste with notes of caramel and less smokey flavors than a Maker's Mark style. Great in an Old Fashioned
Micah,
Pretty smooth and tasty
Ethan,
I liked this a fair amount... funny though my buddy "loves" it mixed with crab-grape juice...😳
anonymous,
One of the finest bourbons on the market. Also, it seems that Basil Hayden is getting cheaper while other bourbons are getting pricier! At the same time, this distilled doesn't play the "limited amount in reserves" game that is actually killing the American bourbon market. You can go into a store and actually find Basil Hayden on the shelf. You don't have to special order it or jump through hoops.
This company is steady, fair priced and produces a beautifully balanced bottle of bourbon...well worth the money spent!
