Whisky #89 – Basil Haydens Bourbon Whiskey
by
Basil Haydens Bourbon Whiskey. Kentucky, United States. ABV: 40.00%. Tasted at The Sentinel.
Colour: Deep copper.
Nose: Rye, plenty of it. Now that I’ve read it’s a combo of rye & corn based spirits, you can definitely smell the corn.
Palate: Rye comes through more; oily mouthfeel, quite creamy.
Finish: Subtle oak, medium length.
Comments: Much smoother and creamier than a lot of other American whiskies I’ve tried, would like to give this one another try as there’s something a little different (in a good way!) about this one that I’d like to explore in more detail.
