Basil Hayden's Red Wine Cask Finish Bourbon

Basil Hayden Red Wine Cask Finish Bourbon is a limited-edition Kentucky straight bourbon that explores the intersection of classic whiskey and fine wine. After aging in traditional new charred American oak, a portion of this signature high-rye bourbon is blended with bourbon that has been finished in Californian red wine casks. This unique maturation process infuses the traditionally spicy and approachable Basil Hayden profile with deep, rich notes of dark fruit, sweet cherry, and a velvety texture.

Food Pairing: Charcuterie boards with cured meats, aged gouda or parmesan, roasted lamb, dark chocolate, or mixed berry tarts.

Tasting Notes : Deep ruby-amber in appearance with a smooth, approachable, and slightly velvety mouthfeel.

Nose : Dried dark fruits, sweet cherry, warm vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of gentle baking spice.

Palate : Soft and beautifully balanced, presenting classic bourbon notes of caramel and vanilla layered with prominent red wine influences of dark cherry, ripe plum, sweet strawberries, and toasted almonds.

Finish : Warm, crisp, and slightly dry with lingering notes of dark fruit, mild rye spice, and gentle oak tannins.

Serve : Serve neat, on the rocks, or as a sophisticated base in a New York Sour or Boulevardier.
