  • Well well well, nice work Basil - a competent and lovely pour from the BH family that carries great age, lovely composure and for the first time…no shortage of flavor.

  • If you like the rye you could do far worse; the extended aging accentuates the flavors of the classic profile found in their standard release.

  • By Nick Beiter
  • Basil Hayden Aged 10 Years is subtle and oak-heavy, and now joins the brand’s lineup as a permanent expression.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Sweet cream, banana bread, light vanilla cream, toffee and rock candy. Pleasant and sweet, light and effervescent. Pleasant oak.

  • Taste:

    Moderate palate, the first Basil I’ve had that really hits like a bourbon. Pleasant sweetness, sweet oak, banana bread, honey roasted peanuts, cocoa and a hint of char and tobacco.

  • Finish:

    Medium to short finish, pleasant and light with lots of wood character, sweet bourbon notes and pleasant dessert. Great combo of caramel and char here.

  • Overall:

    Well well well, nice work Basil - a competent and lovely pour from the BH family that carries great age, lovely composure and for the first time…no shortage of flavor.
