basil hayden kentucky straight bourbon whiskey

Top shelf bourbon for a reason

I've been a Kentucky bourbon drinker for thirty plus years. While there are many fine spirits by the multitude of distillers throughout the state, in my humble opinion Basil Hayden ranks right up there with some of the higher end distillations. None of which are more drinkable on a regular basis.

The gift

I was given a bottle of Basil Hayden's as a gift in exchange for a custom bicycle I had built and given to one of my most respected partners. I cherished the bottle unopened, but when I finally opened it…and tasted it, I became a fan for life. I will always look for it on the wall of a fine establishment, enjoy it slowly with special people and cherish the memories it brings…..
