**Basil Hayden 10yr 750ml

The 10-year aging really comes through with a smooth, mellow finish that’s surprisingly easy to sip neat. I’d been looking for a bottle with that extra age without it being harsh, and this delivers. Well worth the wait for the pre-order process.

This arrived a bit slower due to the pre-order process, but that 10-year age statement delivers a smooth, layered finish that’s worth the wait. The spice notes are well-balanced, not at all harsh.

The pre-order wait was a bit long, but the 10-year age statement is worth it—the pour is surprisingly smooth with a rich, oaky depth that finishes clean. I'd absolutely order this again despite the extra days.
