Description

YOU’VE TRIED IT CHARRED. NOW TRY IT TOASTED. INTRODUCING BASIL HAYDEN TOAST. Join us at Virtue Feed and Grain for the Best of Basil Event to mark the launch of Basil Hayden Toast. Ticket price includes 3 tastings, 3 food dishes, and a commemorative Basil Hayden Item to take home. Basil Hayden’s® Toast Bourbon is the new permanent Ultra-Premium expression for the brand. This uniquely crafted 80 proof whiskey consists of an entirely new Basil Hayden’s mashbill, 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 toasted notes – ideal to be sipped and savored neat or on the rocks with close company.
