Basil Hayden 10 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 10-Year Age Statement | 80 Proof (40% ABV) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Basil Hayden 10 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey begins with the brand’s high-rye mash bill and matures for a full decade in new, charred American oak barrels. This long aging develops deeper layers of caramel, vanilla, toasted spice, and seasoned oak while still maintaining the signature smooth, light-bodied profile expected from an 80-proof Basil Hayden release. It’s refined, mellow, and oak-driven without ever becoming heavy or hot.
