The story
The brand is named after Meredith Basil Hayden Sr., an 18th-century distiller known for using high-rye mash bills. Basil Hayden's was launched in 1992 by Booker Noe as part of Jim Beam's Small Batch Bourbon Collection; the recipe follows the high-rye approach inherited from the Old Grand-Dad formula. Today the brand is part of Beam Suntory and the spirit is produced at Jim Beam facilities in Kentucky.
