Basil Hayden Cognac Cask Reserve

Product Highlights

Basil Hayden Cognac Cask Reserve marks a limited-edition expansion of the brand's signature high-rye mash bill, finished in French cognac casks for added depth. Crafted by the James B. Beam Distilling Co. as a small-batch release, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey carries Basil Hayden's characteristic spice, layered with the fruit and warmth imparted by cognac barrel finishing. Expect notes of caramel, dried fruit, vanilla, oak, and subtle spice on the palate, with a smooth, approachable finish. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), it's well suited to sipping neat or on the rocks, letting the cognac-cask influence come through clearly. As a limited release, availability is finite, making it a worthwhile pick-up for bourbon collectors and Basil Hayden fans looking to try something outside the brand's usual lineup. Each bottle comes in the standard 750 mL format.
