As you can see by the color, Basil Hayden Red Wine Cask Finish is something special. The classic Basil Hayden high-rye mash bill and bourbon partially aged in Californian red wine casks is ripe with cherries & dried fruit, while also delivering characteristic bourbon flavors of vanilla and charred oak. It’s perfect straight up but even better on the rocks or mixed in cocktails.

A lively and approachable take on our classic Basil Hayden Bourbon, this pioneer of the cask finishing movement is aged in Cali red wine casks for a flavorful expression of cherries & dried fruit. Perfectly balanced, Basil Hayden Red Wine Cask Finish is layered & complex, yet approachable & inviting.
