Basil Hayden 10 Year Bourbon
Basil Hayden 10 Year Bourbon takes the same high-rye recipe as the flagship Basil Hayden and gives it extended time in newly charred American oak barrels: ten years in all. This Kentucky straight bourbon from James B. Beam Distilling Co. is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
It is an annual limited release, one the brand says comes around only once a year. Big oak, a hint of char, vanilla and rye form the nose. The palate balances oak with caramel sweetness and rye spice, and the finish is lightly smoky, with a subtle trace of char.
At Sun of a Gun Cigars & Spirits in Yuma, Arizona, we pour it by the glass as a single or a double, with bottles to go (750 mL). Our shelf changes as bottles are poured and new ones arrive, so call 928-276-3500 to confirm availability, and ask our team for a cigar from the walk-in humidor to pair with it.
