Basil Hayden is about to release for the first time as a limited offering their “Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke”. It’s a one-time release. They have told me it’s going to be very limited & each store is only getting about six bottles. They are suggesting that everybody use a release price of $100. I only got enough bottles for a Bourbon Buyers Club send.
Will other people follow this guidance? I have no idea because I’ve seen this type of deal before and prices quickly can sky rocket out of control. Will this one do the same? See above answer. I’m going to be as far as I can to the Bourbon Buyers Club and release it at $75 per bottle.
Basil Hayden says this beauty will use the same high-rye mash bill that fans know and love but will be slightly differently crafted using toasting and lightly charred secondary barreling to achieve a smokiness in a completely unique manor. This one is the campfire whiskey that people know and love. Notes of charred wood, smoke, with a little of the fresh baked sour dough smell and creamy butterscotch flavors coming through on the mid-palate that finishes with a little hickory smoke. This one is bottled at 80 Proof.

#5 Whisky of the Year, (2021) Whisky Advocate
“Nicole Austin hasn’t rested on her laurels since George Dickel Bottled in Bond won Whisky of the Year in 2019, continuing to create great and affordable whiskeys at Cascade Hollow Distillery. This is notably a bourbon rather than a Tennessee whiskey, though the criteria for the two styles mostly overlap. The nose is nutty and well spiced, with caramel corn, toasted pecans, cinnamon graham crackers, cherry tart, and butterscotch candies. There is a friendliness to the palate that makes it ideal for outdoor imbibing, with notes of spearmint, mixed berries, nougat, and honey. Big spice on the finish makes this a memorable sip.” -Whisky Advocate
I have one of High West’s newest and rarest releases, a limited roll out of Campfire Whiskey – a blend that they make using some of the finest scotch, bourbon and rye whiskey barrels they can get. This is a pretty complex blend and it gets increasingly better and more interesting with every return to the glass and new dimension unlocked. This one checks in at 92 Proof (46% alc.) and has a ton of different caramel, oak, light smoke, leather, dried fruit and zesty spices that send your taste buds on a straight up rollercoaster ride. Unfortunately, I have only a few bottles to go round – not enough for an offer of any kind.
*Pre-Arrival Release* Orders will begin shipping the week of September 11th.
A new High West release is always met with a ton of anticipation, but if you’re a fan of the Cabernet Cask finishes on Bourbons and Tequilas like I am, then this one is 100% right up your alley. The aromas absolutely drip out of the bottle—a mix of cherries, oranges, and chocolate dance on the tongue, followed by some nuttiness intertwined with a hint of the used Cabernet barrel. It’s got some spice to it, a little hickory smoke, and some dark cocoa notes at the end that keep you coming back over and over again.
In terms of rare and unique bottles go, this Japanese Whisky is up there with anything in the spirits world. It’s a blended whisky finished in Sakura (cherry blossom) casks and Hibiki® 30 Year Old, a rare annual release that retails for $5000/btl. Hibiki is a gorgeous blend of ten various malt and grain whiskies from Suntory’s Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries. It’s super aptly named as all of these flavors and smells mesh together beautifully, with no shortage of flavors and aroma.
