basil hayden kentucky straight bourbon whiskey

First time in an old fashion.

I was surprised that the bartender offered their old fashion using Basil Hayden. I have to say it was a nice experience having it for the first time. I'll buy BH for my next mixology. Can't wait to try it on the rocks.

I was brought to the light and left the darkness behind

I was always a bourbon fan. A dear friend brought Basil Hayden to my dinner party and I became a disciple. It's the first bourbon I ever preferred straight. Now it's a permanent fixture on my bar rack. It takes a while to finish one glass because I tend to savor the sweet, mellow aftertaste longer than usual. It's something I never experienced in a whiskey until Basil Hayden. I enjoy it best each weekend watching the sunset from my back deck. Salute mia amici!
