Basil Haden Subtle Smoke Bourbon

Product Info

Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke maintains the signature high-rye mash bill Basil Hayden aficionados know and love, while a secondary maturation infuses it with a sophisticated smokiness, creating a unique, multi-layered flavor profile. The interior of the secondary maturation oak barrels is first toasted and lightly charred. Hickory chips are then burned at a steady rate, generating smoke that is then injected into the barrels, creating a soft, smoky aroma and light butterscotch notes. These distinctive flavors represent a smoother, more nuanced interpretation of the smoky spirit, making it the perfect introduction to bourbon and the Basil Hayden brand, both sophisticated and accessible. Served neat or on the rocks, Subtle Smoke reveals soft smoky notes and sweet vanilla, complementing the signature spicy rye flavors of Basil Hayden bourbon. Released at 80 proof, Subtle Smoke has a light texture, allowing you to savor its subtle flavors without the burning sensation associated with high-proof whiskeys or overly smoky spirits.
