ARTFULLY AGED. REVERED FOR ITS FLAVOR.
A sip of bourbon, like any conversation worth indulging in, feels fleeting in real time but lingers in the memory and has lasting effects. Basil Hayden ToastTM brings complexity and deeper flavor to any table, no matter where the conversation takes you.
This whiskey consists of an entirely new mashbill, replacing the traditional rye grain with brown rice, which adds a hint of sweetness and a touch less spice with increased depth of flavor that comes from secondary aging in a toasted then flash-charred oak barrel.
MAKE EVERY MOMENT WORTH TOASTING
Basil Hayden Toast™ delivers an intriguing avenue into the warm, refined bourbon sipping occasion. It’s more subtle, more interesting, and ultimately way more approachable, which is exactly what Basil is all about.
The Basil Hayden® Old Fashioned is a traditionalist's cocktail that's crafted with our signature bourbon, a touch of Demerara syrup, and Angostura® bitters.

"One of the best!. Toast is a premium example of Kentucky bourbon! Enjoyable feel in the mouth with a smooth as silk finish. I'm a stubborn bourbon drinker so always take mine neat, after all if you have to mix it then any bourbon will do. Only the best ones like Toast make the cut to sip and enjoy the flavor the way it was meant to be consumed."

"Light & Easy Sipping. Love this bourbon - goes down easy and perfect for building cocktails. Recommend making a whiskey sour or smash with Basil Hayden Toast, a little lemon brings out all of the best in this bourbon."

"10 out of 10. Well it's 40% ABV That's the only negative I have... Extremely smooth, slightly sweet, no spice, and delicious. Drink neat or on the rocks."
