My first bottle of Basil Hayden's.
I'm usually a Scotch drinker, but after listening to Linn talk about bourbon so much, I had to give something made in the good ol' US of A a try.
I haven't broken the seal...yet. |

The most delicately constituted of the 4 small batch Beams.
A wonderful aroma and very smooth on the palate.

If I remember, it's 86 proof...so after you've had a few, don't even think about driving. It's good stuff!

I must say that this bourbon was very, very good. It was a step outside of my normal scotch beverage, but albeit a very refreshing step outside.
I would really enjoy trying some Stagg's or Pappy Van Winkle, but they aren't offered in North Carolina. |

Well good Mike, I'm glad you liked it! Blanton's is available in North Carolina - give that one a try!
Tennessee is but a day trip away, and I'm sure you'll find both Old Rip Van Winkle along with the older Pappys. Stagg is a different story. Best call ahead. My brother-in-law lives in N.C. and he went to a huge liquor store just outside of Nashville I believe. He was very impressed with their selection and prices. Sorry, but I don't reccollect the name.

I think the spice of Basil Hayden's is a wonderful compliment to a mild cigar.
