Basil Hayden Red Wine Cask Finish (40% abv)

Basil Hayden’s Red Wine Cask Finish is a limited-edition bourbon whiskey from the celebrated Jim Beam distillery. It is labeled as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and has been aged for 8 years. The whiskey is then finished in Napa Valley Red Wine barrels to create an exquisite flavor profile of rich oak wood, deep fruitiness, and sweet caramel notes. This whiskey is 86 proof, and is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks. When sipped neat, it offers fruity and vanilla notes upfront, followed by a smooth mid-palate. On the finish, you’ll notice a surprising contrast of deep oak and baking spice, accompanied by a hint of caramel. Though this whiskey is not for everyone, the Red Wine Cask Finish from Basil Hayden’s is an excellent choice for fans of bourbon who are looking for something unique and enjoyable. Not only is it smooth and flavorful, but it also adds a bit of complexity to the bourbon drinking experience. Whether you’re looking to sip it neat or mix it into a craft cocktail, this is one of the more interesting offerings from Jim Beam.
