Booker Noe's passion for bourbon went far beyond the bottle - it was his life's calling, steeped in craftsmanship and storytelling. With Basil Hayden, he created a bourbon that embodied his ideal: a high-rye Kentucky straight bourbon that strikes a delicate balance between spicy and smooth, sweet and rich. It's the kind of bourbon that beckons you back for another pour, rewarding each return with its refined character. True to Kentucky tradition, it speaks for itself in the glass.
This Kentucky straight bourbon presents a golden amber hue in the glass. The nose reveals an intriguing blend of spices, delicate tea notes, and subtle hints of peppermint. On the palate, it shows its high-rye heritage with a spicy, peppery character that's beautifully balanced by honeyed sweetness. The light-bodied whiskey offers a gentle bite that leads to a clean, dry, and brief finish. At 80 proof, it maintains an approachable character while delivering the complexity that made Basil Hayden Sr.'s original high-rye recipe so revolutionary in 1796.
