Basil Hayden's

When I first purchased a bottle of Basil Hayden's,  I wanted to know more about this great spirit.  I wasn't wowed at first which caught me by surprise.   I sipped it some nights and mixed it other nights to try and find the real flavors behind this whiskey. But it just wasn't there.  A true whiskey connoisseur believes that your palate just needs time to be trained and adjust to the wonderful tastes that whiskey explores.  So recently, I retried tasting this spirit and was pleasantly surprised.  The nose on this whiskey  is aromatic almost floral with a combination of vanilla and oak.  There were certain smells of a golden, sweet, char flavor (I know, those three words in one sentence, who would of thought).  To taste one might find tobacco and a sense of citrus.  With all things considered this was a very smooth spirit that one can enjoy sipping or mixed in a drink.
