Almost floral undertones to the heavily corn-inspired sweetness. The best Bourbon I've ever had on the rocks.

Spicy is the word. Some candy orange skin at the final, bit the most important is the freshness and pepper taste of this bourbon

I've arrived at the opinion that Basil Hayden isn't particularly good. Not very complex and obnoxiously tannic on the finish. It's been relegated to Manhattan status where it works just fine when paired with a good vermouth. The cocktail is a 9.0.

Strong tannic finish–really benefits from some water.
