Basil Hayden is an 80-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey known for being a lighter-bodied and approachable option that still has a spicy kick. It is characterized by a high-rye mash bill, and its flavor profile includes notes of spice, pepper, and peppermint, balanced by hints of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit. It can be served neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.
