Discover the elegant, high-rye character of Basil Hayden’s Bourbon, a standout in Kentucky’s rich whiskey tradition. Originally crafted by Master Distiller Booker Noe in 1992 as part of the Small Batch Collection, Basil Hayden’s pays tribute to Basil Hayden Sr., an 18th-century distiller known for introducing higher rye content into his bourbon mash bill.
Distilled and aged in Clermont, Kentucky, Basil Hayden’s is celebrated for its approachably smooth yet spicy profile, featuring notes of peppery rye, caramel, honey, and subtle oak. Its signature high-rye recipe gives a lively, refreshing spice while maintaining a light, accessible body—perfect for newcomers and seasoned bourbon enthusiasts alike.
The range includes the iconic Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon as well as innovative releases like Dark Rye, 10 Year, and limited editions that showcase creative finishing techniques and premium craftsmanship.
