Basil Hayden Toast Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is a unique twist on the classic Basil Hayden recipe, crafted with a focus on rich sweetness and smooth drinkability. Instead of traditional rye grain, this bourbon uses brown rice in its mash bill, creating a softer, rounded flavor profile. It is then aged in toasted barrels, which add layers of warmth, caramel, and spice.

Finished with a secondary aging process in toasted oak, Basil Hayden Toast offers a more mellow and subtly sweet bourbon experience at 80 proof. Perfect for those who enjoy approachable whiskey with a touch of innovation, it’s excellent neat, over ice, or in modern bourbon cocktails.
