About this bottle
Basil Hayden's Kentucky Straight Bourbon is Jim Beam's lighter-bodied entry in its Small Batch Collection, built to be more approachable and less oak-heavy than the rest of the Beam bourbon lineup. It's bottled at a lower 80 proof than most bourbons on the shelf, which keeps the heat down and lets the lighter grain and spice notes lead rather than a big caramel-oak punch. Expect honey, black pepper, and a touch of citrus rather than a rich, dessert-like bourbon. This gray label bottling suits newer bourbon drinkers or anyone who wants a gentler pour without giving up real Kentucky straight bourbon credentials.
How to drink Basil Hayden's
It holds up well on the rocks since the lower proof won't wash out over ice, and it makes an easy, approachable Old Fashioned for guests who find bigger bourbons too hot.
