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!

This is my third private barrel of Bourbon that I sourced from Bulleit and my first since 2022. Believe you me, they give you a ton (and I mean a ton) of samples to go through to make up for lost time. The winning combo is something people are going to love. Allow me to introduce you to Barrel #5-B3-82. It’s smooth and layered, with a full creamy mouthfeel and manages to sneak in at 104 Proof. On the nose, I get fresh cut oak, vanilla and brown butter. On the palate, freshly baked banana bread, burnt orange and graham cracker.
Back in the day, Widow Jane used to be a staple at Nicholas Wines. But as its popular has gone crazy, it’s been tougher and tougher to get my hands on any. This is a hyper small batch bourbon that was aged for a minimum of thirteen years, non-chill filtered and proofed with Widow Jane’s signature limestone mineral water from the Rosendale Mines in New York. It’s a doozy of a bottle at 93 Proof and has notes of vanilla, nutmeg, graham cracker and sweet tobacco.
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.
The third release of three batches from Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-03 ‘Might Fine Batch.’ These mini-releases have become extremely popular, and for good reason. “The vanilla and brown sugar sweet notes come through very well from the white oak barrels this bourbon aged in for over seven years. The taste is great and full bodied; when I added a splash of water, it opened up some great flavors, with a finish that gives a lovely “Kentucky Hug. My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s.” -Fred Noe
