Taste Test: Basil Hayden




Selection:  Basil Hayden

Price:  ~$45

Proof:   80 Proof (40% ABV)

Thoughts:   Tried this in Indiana.  It's a Rye- and the Rye is overwhelming.  I'm not really tasting anything else.  Adding a lemon helps a bit- but if a bourbon isn't good to drink without fruit, it's not a great bourbon.

Conclusion:   Not something I'd recommend.  Too powerful of a rye taste to get anything else.
