Basil Hayden's



This bottle of Basil Hayden's Bourbon was a nice surprise I found waiting for me last Sunday. I like a good small batch bourbon, but to tell you the truth, I can't describe the taste like a true aficionado. I may not be able to describe the bite as gentle and the finish as brief, but I can tell you this does go down smoother than Jim Beam.

I liked this one--very mild.

This should be your next bourbon purchase: http://www.wallywine.com/p-28163-black-maple-hill-23yr-rye-bourbon-750ml.aspx

I've had their 18 yr rye bourbon and it was excellent.

pricy bourbon...better than Pappy's?

I think so, though it depends on your preference for rye versus wheat bourbons. I think it is a better value than Pappy's for certain.
