Rich amber with crimson highlights, hinting at the influence of the red wine casks. Aromas of ripe berries, dried fruits, and vanilla mingle with hints of caramel, oak, and baking spices. Subtle floral notes and a touch of red wine tannins add depth and complexity. On the palate, flavors of red grapes, blackberries, and cherries interplay with the bourbon’s characteristic notes of caramel, toffee, and cinnamon.

The finish is long and satisfying, with echoes of red wine, oak, and baking spices that linger on the palate, leaving a warm and lingering impression.

Basil Hayden Red Wine Cask Finish begins with the same high-rye bourbon recipe that has made Basil Hayden a beloved name in the whiskey world. After aging in charred oak barrels to develop its signature flavor profile, the bourbon is transferred to casks previously used to mature red wine. This secondary maturation process allows the bourbon to absorb the nuanced flavors and aromas of the wine, resulting in a unique and complex final product.
