Basil Hayden has always occupied a distinct corner of the Kentucky bourbon landscape: lighter in body, higher in rye, more refined than robust. Named for a Maryland distiller who brought his craft to Kentucky in the late 1700s, the brand has built its reputation on approachability without sacrificing character. Toast takes that philosophy a step further — a Kentucky Straight Bourbon finished in lightly toasted (rather than deeply charred) new oak barrels, a secondary maturation that coaxes a gentler, more nuanced layer of wood influence into the spirit. The result is a bourbon that feels like the warm end of a bonfire rather than the roar of it.
Dark amber in the glass. The nose is immediately inviting: toasted oak, dried fruit, caramelized sugar, and a whisper of char that adds depth without weight. The palate is light and smooth — toasted wood and vanilla lead, with brown sugar and subtle rye spice in the middle. At 80 proof it is deliberately approachable, with a clean, sweet caramel finish that lingers softly. Easy neat, effortless on the rocks, and a natural fit in a Whiskey Sour or a low-key Old Fashioned.
“Toasted oak complemented by dried fruit and caramelized sugar — bourbon finished in toasted barrels delivering hints of char and caramel sweetness.” — Basil Hayden

Producer Notes
Basil Hayden Toast is a uniquely crafted 80 proof whiskey consisting of an entirely new mash bill, replacing the traditional rye grain with brown rice, which adds a hint of sweetness and a touch less spice with increased depth of flavor that comes from secondary aging in a toasted then flash-charred oak barrel. Rather than charring the barrel with open flame, the toasting process exposes the barrel to a long and gentle heat at a level proprietary to Basil Hayden. The softer notes from the Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey receive the flavors from the toasted barrels, which is then blended back with non-Toasted bourbon to add complex flavor grounded in sweet vanilla, complemented by rich roasted notes. Perfect sipped and savored neat or on the rocks with close company.
Critics Notes
90 Points Whisky Advocate | Made with brown rice and finished in toasted barrels. Cereal grains with freeze-dried strawberries on the nose as well as toasted herbs, blueberries, and fruity bubble gum. The palate is creamy and light, with notes of strawberry yogurt, bitter chocolate, and burnt sugar. A syrupy finish brings custard, tiramisu, and caramel flan. It is atypical in its profile and at times light bodied, but demonstrates good constriction and drinkability.
