About Basil Hayden Toast
Basil Hayden Toast is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by Jim Beam Brands, featuring a unique mashbill of 63% corn, 27% brown rice, and 10% malted barley, replacing traditional rye for added sweetness and less spice. Aged in new charred oak barrels with a secondary finish in toasted then flash-charred barrels, it delivers a refined, toasty character at 40% ABV (80 proof). What makes it special is the brown rice innovation and toasting process, imparting creamy textures, caramel notes, and velvety smoothness distinct from spicier ryes like standard Basil Hayden. Ideal for easy sippers, cocktail enthusiasts, or those new to bourbon seeking approachable luxury without harshness. At $45 for 750ml, it offers premium quality competitively, outperforming basic 80-proof bourbons in elegance while competing with high-rye peers through its gentle, dessert-like profile.
