The first smell of this bourbon had my mouth watering a little. Maybe that was because it had been a couple of days since I'd had a good shot of whiskey, but it increased my anticipation. In addition, it's a favorite of a good friend.
Basil Hayden has a sweet, smooth taste to the front. The burn is pleasant and not overwhelming. I was impressed by it's overall smoothness and drinkability.
After a few more sips, I found myself making a slight revision in my opinion. Yes, it is a nice smooth bourbon, but that starts to become a downfall. It quickly loses any unique characteristics and becomes just another nice sipping bourbon.
This would be a good introductory bourbon and excellent for someone who likes a lighter taste in their whiskey. It's not one I'd stock, but I wouldn't turn down a drink either.
