Decent Product
I have to say that this whiskey is a decent product. It’s strong and made from good quality ingredients. I have enjoyed it on its own with some Ice and lemon, on its own as a shot or as a cocktail with lemon and energy drink or fizzy cola. It goes nice with snack of nuts or spicy crisps.

Tasty
Has a great taste that doesn't burn your throat but certainly warms your cockles. Silky to drink and doesn't overwhelm. Would highly recommend to friends and family who enjoy a bourbon.

Amazing
Loved it! And it'll be my favourite whisky now! The bottle I'd design in such a beautiful and original way, looks great on my alcohol shelf! It makes a wonderful gift too! The tast is strong but super smooth! Tast great neat but also with a mixer (although personally I think it is a waste of whisky by mixing it with coke etc!). I would definitely recommend it, worth every penny! Will be buying again!

5 Star Bourbon
First of all I really like the bottle, it looks exclusive, excellent design. First impression when try is very good, really smooth taste. Easy to drink on their own same as with ice cubes. When you drink the depths of flavours keep coming with notes of fruits. Really enjoyed. Recommended to everyone who love drink bourbons.

Wow Whiskey
I drink whiskey from time to time, sometimes neat over ice or mixers. This has been such a pleasure to test this. I’d never heard of this brand before but after researching online, this is a very popular American bourbon tipple. This bottle is so unusual with the copper and steel strap around the middle of the bottle. And the labelling is very premium looking with the ragged ripped paper and looking as if it’s a ticket. Tasting this is honestly one of the better whiskies I’ve tried. Lovely taste of sweetness and despite it’s strong (40%) it’s very smooth. It’s fabulous over ice and to savour it. There is an unusual taste of pepper, but only a hint, not overly overpowering. I’d definitely buy this if I see it in the supermarket shelves. And possibly for forthcoming birthday or Christmas gifts for relatives.

Beautifully Sweet Bourbon
I don't normally drink bourbon but I can see myself happily drinking this one. It smells really nice in the glass. The frist sip is quite sharp but mellows out from there. I really like the dried fruit finish as it gives the whiskey lovely sweetness and a gret character.

Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Great bourbon , which I highly recommend, very soft and full-bodied with vanilla notes and caramel as well as long finish with light sharpness. A great bourbon to just drink like that and also great for classic mixed drinks like old fashioned or just with coke.

Strong but soft
This is probably one of the best whiskeys I've tasted. Smooth and really easy to drink. It not too overbearing in flavour but does feel quite strong alcohol wise. Defo buy again.

An artful experience
I recently had the pleasure of trying a Basil Hayden Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The aroma was rich and inviting, with notes of sugar, black pepper, and oak. Upon first sip, the flavor was bold and complex, with a delightful sweetness and just the right amount of spice. The finish was long and smooth, leaving a pleasant warmth in my throat. What struck me most about this bourbon was its exceptional balance. The sweetness and spice were perfectly complementary, neither overpowering the other. It was also clear that this whiskey had been aged with care, as the oak notes were present but not overwhelming. Overall, I would highly recommend this Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey to anyone who appreciates a well-crafted, flavorful spirit. It's a perfect sipping whiskey, best enjoyed with a cola mixer or as I prefer it, neat. Cheers!

Very stunning. My new favourite

Unique and Stylish, a Special Treat
When I first opened the box I was surprised by how stylish the bottle was. The unique quirks in the design make the bottle feel like it is something a little more special than a bog standard design, this makes it great for gifting. The drink is strong with a sweet kick, and made to a quality standard. I will definitely think of this brand in the future when buying alcohol and would highly recommend it to others.

Great
This is by far my new fav whiskey ! As soon as you open the bottle you can smell that it is a delicious premium whiskey ! It had such a lovely smell and taste and flavour … it tasted great with a mixer but also I enjoyed it best just by itself with a whiskey stone so that ice didn’t dilute the distinct flavour !

Sophisticated bourbon whiskey
Wow, this is one sophisticated bourbon whiskey. The bottle itself is very classy looking and something I am happy to keep out on display in my kitchen. I love the metallic belt wrapped around the bottle itself. The flavour of the whiskey is sweet, strong, and smooth all at the same time. I enjoyed sipping this whiskey either neat, over ice or sometimes with water if I wanted to make it last a bit longer. This is the type of drink to enjoy at home alone or when socialising with friends. It would also make a very elegant gift for someone.
