Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke Bourbon Whiskey is a unique twist on classic Basil Hayden's bourbon. It features the same high-rye mash bill for a smooth, approachable character, but with a twist: secondary aging in toasted and lightly charred barrels. This process infuses the bourbon with a subtle hint of smoke, complementing the rich oak aromas and butterscotch sweetness.

Description

Aroma

Lead: Rich oak – This is the first and most prominent scent you’ll notice. Imagine the deep, woody aroma of a freshly opened antique cabinet.

Support: Gentle smoke – Think campfire embers, subtle and smoky without being overpowering.

Hint: Butterscotch – A touch of sweetness adds complexity, like a hint of butterscotch candies in the background.

Palate

Attack: Soft char – A gentle toasty sensation greets your tongue first, hinting at the toasted barrels used in the aging process.

Heart: Light sweetness – Notes of caramel and maple emerge, reminding you of classic bourbon flavors.

Finish: Lingering smokiness – The subtle smoke character returns, leaving a pleasant and balanced aftertaste.

Body

Light to medium – Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke has a smooth and approachable mouthfeel, making it easy to sip.
