Top reviews for Basil Hayden's Bourbon:
— SMOOOOOOOTH!
— Consistent bottle after bottle.... caramel finish, very smooth
— This bourbon has been at the top of my list for a LONG time. It delivers every single pour and will never disappoint. You can drink it neat, on the rocks or as a first-class cocktail and you'll always be satisfied. With that said, I'd strongly recommend drinking this neat with a splash of water to let it open up and do what a great bourbon does. All around it's a very smooth drink with a slight bite to remind you that you're drinking a top notch bourbon. It drinks like a bottle 2-3x's it's price point.

Michael,
One word smooooooth
Lee,
Not as robust as, say, Booker’s within the Beam brand. But then it isn’t intended to be (note 80 proof). The rye is personally appreciated, but for the seasoned bourbon drinker the finish is likely too short. Very smooth nonetheless, and would highly recommend for those new to bourbon.
Cynthia,
I liked this one - it’s smooth and drinkable neat. Gently sweet, and easy. Maybe a slight orange zest?
Gergo,
That's a really great "every day" bourbon, very smooth and enjoyable.
Eugeniu,
Smooth! Really enjoyable, like light through cathedral glass.
