Basil Hayden offered a limited release of a few different Bourbons last year. One was the ‘Subtle Smoke’ that Bourbon Buyers Club members scooped up on a matter of hours. This next one I got a hold of is called ‘Toast’ a play on the Bourbons composition, using charred, treated barrels to store their Bourbon that was made with the secret ingredient of U.S. grown brown rice.
Whisky Advocate said of the new Basil Hayden, “This whiskey features not just a new mashbill, but a new look for Basil Hayden as well. Toast marks the debut of a design-forward packaging update that elevates Basil Hayden’s signature look.”
This one features rich notes of maple syrup, cocoa, and charred wood. It has notes of a sweet molasses bread, dried fruit, caramel and creamy butterscotch flavors coming through on a mid-palate which has more depth and range of flavor coming from the brown rice composition. This gives it a a richer more savory profile, with deep and intricate layers. I’m a fan.
Our price today is a special one. The average price for this is about $75/btl going all the way up to $100/pop. But we’re going out at the lowest price legally allowed in New Jersey – and it’s a lot lower than those prices!

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.
Our third single barrel of Whistle Pig and the first time we have our hands on their 6-year PiggyBack bottling. This one leads with a nose of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, butterscotch and toffee. On the palate, I get a lot of citrus & peach with a touch of lavender & black cherry. The finish here is strong & long with spicy dried fruits and caramel notes that linger. This one was distilled in house in Vermont, and as anyone can tell you with the farm releases, they always deliver the best of punches. This one comes in at 109.8 Proof.
I once again found myself with one of the more and limited bottlings from the good people at Michter’s It comes in a round 111 Proof and is a monster from one of the best distilleries out there. This bottling is usually between 107 and 112 Proof but isn’t made every year (only in the good years). It’s oozing with seductive aromas of Cinnamon, rye spice, chocolate and freshly baked gingerbread. Cinnamon, dark chocolate, a hint of Cayenne pepper mixed with charred sugar and oak explode out of the bottle and greet you head on. I wish I had more than six of these beauties to pass out. Such is life.
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.
