This ultra-premium, limited-time special release features the same high-rye mash bill that Basil Hayden fans know and love, finished in hickory smoked, new charred oak barrels, delivering delicate campfire notes that perfectly complement the base flavor profile. This secondary finishing results in an aroma of mellow smoke character with a hint of sweet vanilla, followed by a palate with notes of soft char and a light sweetness reminiscent of caramel and maple. The delicate smokiness in this expression provides a unique profile, while still holding true to the approachability and refinement of all Basil Hayden offerings. Perfected and second to none.
