Basil Hayden Debuts Red Wine Cask Finish

Master Distiller Freddie Noe blended the signature Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with bourbon partially aged in Californian red wine casks. The vanilla and charred oak notes of classic Basil Hayden intertwine with flavors of dried fruit and sweet nectar imparted by the red wine cask for a layered, complex yet approachable result. The perfect foray into the category for wine-lovers and an intriguing expression for bourbon enthusiasts, Noe crafted this approachable whiskey with the aperitif sipping occasion in mind.

"We are creating new avenues for consumers to enjoy our light and inviting expressions through unique cask finishes and innovative releases," said Jonathan Marks, Senior Marketing Director for Global Small Batch Bourbon at Beam Suntory. "Basil Hayden Red Wine Cask Finish continues the Basil Hayden mission to opening up the category to new drinkers and occasions."  SRP: $59.99.
