Tasting Notes

Hinterhaus Distillery presents a unique twist with this bourbon. Basil Hayden's Toast, abandoning the usual rye, embraces brown rice in its mashbill, leading to a gentler profile. Expect a captivating nose of campfire smoke dancing with vanilla, followed by a palate of brown sugar and caramel sweetness. The toasted oak finish whispers of muted cinnamon. While not as robust as some double-oaked counterparts, its distinct character and smoothness make it a worthwhile exploration, especially for those seeking something different. The lower proof point allows the toasted notes to shine, making it a surprisingly palatable sipper.
