basil hayden kentucky straight bourbon whiskey

Wonderfully surprised

Seeing it at my favorite beverage depot at a nice price point, I decided to try it. I had read reviews but was wonderfully surprised as I unsealed the bottle taking in the rich yet smooth aroma. The notes of dried fruit and oak were forefront. As I took my first sip I was even more impressed with the subtle Carmel effects and the lingering fruits. The oak was also present but the pepper was just a trace. It's burn was enjoyable but short lived. This was not a problem as it only invited to take another sip.

Only bourbon I'll use for old fashioneds anymore

Easy review... just try it. I'll lay money down you'll feel the same. Amazing.
