"Basil Hayden's Bourbon 8 Years Old: This pale straw-colored spirit brings a very spicy nose, with notes of pepper balanced well by hints of citrus and mint. The body is a little on the light side, and the very spicy palate brings some fruits -- mainly oranges -- into play. The finish is of medium length and, like the rest of the whiskey, spicy and warming." - Wine Enthusiast, May, 2000
"If it's spice you're after, this one's for you. Sip it quickly on the rocks -- you don't want to dilute it much more, but you might want to try keeping it in the freezer and serving it straight before dinner." |
