Basil Hayden's Subtle Smoke Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a unique expression from the renowned Basil Hayden's distillery, known for its approachable and refined bourbons. This bourbon is crafted with a mash bill that typically includes a high percentage of corn, complemented by rye and malted barley, which contributes to its smooth and balanced character. The 'Subtle Smoke' variant introduces a delicate smokiness achieved through a secondary aging process in barrels that have been lightly toasted and smoked, adding a nuanced layer to its flavor profile. With an ABV of 40%, this bourbon offers a harmonious blend of sweet caramel and vanilla notes, underscored by a gentle smokiness and hints of spice. Originating from Kentucky, USA, it embodies the rich tradition of American bourbon-making.
