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.

The juice here is so pure and elegant, it tastes much more like a $80/bottle of Tequila than one going for half the price, but that’s why I love these single barrel deals so much. The value is insane. This Reposado spent just under 12 months in used bourbon barrels. Golden brown with fresh agave, oak & vanilla. Remarkably smooth finish. This is one of those oddball tequila’s that is good enough to just sip on the rocks but cheap enough to use to make one hell of a margarita.
Today I snagged a really special single barrel that I have been working on for nearly two years now with Old Forester. It’s a 128.2 proof dynamo that will blow you away, and you’ll love every single sip. The nose is of fresh leather, baking spices & cocoa. On the pallet, this one is a monster & hits you with baked apple. brown sugar, vanilla & cinnamon. The finish goes on for two days long with notes of fig, cherries & clove. It’s big, but she’s a beauty.
I was given fourteen samples to taste through, and found that the 5th sample was the winner. This one is not for the faint of heart. It was a tiny barrel of just 40 six-packs, but the quality here was out of the world. It checks in at 110 Proof (55% alc.) and has harmonious sweet and savory notes that dual throughout this super long and memorable finish. It’s worth selling less bottles to bring you one this good – you guys are going to absolutely love it.
“Easily one of the most tactile yet assertive and expressive bourbons I’ve tasted in the last two years; fasten your seat belts.” -Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal
This is a beauty with a complex nose of toffee with hints of orange peel, herbs, honey, leather and oak. The mouthfeel is bold, dry and delicate with notes of candied almonds and very rich cocoa. It’s a gem at a great price.
