Basil Hayden Aged 10 Years is a rare, annual limited release that showcases what a decade of careful maturation can do to one of Kentucky's most refined bourbons. Known for its approachable, high-rye character, Basil Hayden takes on a new dimension at 10 years — deeper oak, richer caramel, and a complexity that only time can build. Bottled at 80 proof, it's an elegant, accessible expression of aged bourbon at its finest.
