Basil Hayden's Red Wine Cask Finish Bourbon

Basil Hayden's Red Wine Cask Finish Bourbon is a distinguished Kentucky Straight Bourbon crafted by the James B. Beam Distilling Company, located in Frankfort, Kentucky.

The whiskey undergoes an intricate aging process in new charred oak barrels before being transferred to red wine casks for additional maturation. Although the bourbon was initially aged for eight years, it now carries the "Artfully Aged" designation, highlighting the meticulous care taken in its production.

Basil Hayden's Red Wine Cask Finish Bourbon is perfect for pairing with foods such as steak, dark chocolate, and aged cheeses like cheddar or gouda, which enhance its complex character.
