Do not recommend. Basil Hayden - recommend. Basil Hayden Dark Rye - highly recommend.

Basil Hayden Toast. Not good, imo. Tastes raw, like it's been aged all of 2 months.

Don't drink bourbon. Hate the smell (there was an event long ago when I did drink bourbon that I suspect caused this smell thing). I wonder how long the Yellowstone I see advertised with the Yellowstone show has been aged.

I've not had Yellowstone, but I do like bourbon. Try Four Roses small batch if you want to try again. Decent starter bourbon, imvho.

I like Basil Hayden dark rye better than all of the Whistle Pig I've tried (and I've tried most of it). Whistle Pig is good, but a bit overpriced for what you get. JMHO.

I was very much looking forward to it. And I'm very disappointed.

I did do Scotch but don't really care for that anymore. Just don't do any of the brown whiskeys anymore. I do like my Pinnacle vodka in a sugar free crystal light (raspberry). shite - I might be a girl and didn't know it.

I won't turn down Scotch. But I like bourbon best of all. Including the Tennessee sipping whiskeys, Irish whiskey, etc.

I like 'em all, but bourbon is king. And Kentucky bourbon is the standard.

tequila does this to me. The taste changes significantly when coming out the same pipe it went in. The smell does not.

Oh, ditto. It's been scarce. Our local grocer has a pretty kickass liquor inventory and recently scored some that they keep in a broom closet for a handful of us degenerates who buy a lot. Involves a secret handshake.

Had that deal with a local liquor store for some Elmer T. Lee.

I highly recommend Basil Hayden. Toast isn’t bad, just not as good as the others.

I drink vodka like a real alcoholic. Pinnacle 100 or Smirnoff Blue.

Basil Hayden sucks for a bourbon brand.
