Intro: 

• I know I have said it before, but Beam Suntory is one of my favorite companies in the whiskey world and yet again, they did not disappoint with their latest release of Basil Hayden! 

Body:

• May of last year, Fred Noe announced that he was naming his son, Freddie Noe as master distiller
  • Which makes him the 8th generation master distiller in the beam family
• Freddie is known for his creation of the Little Book series, which is my all time favorite series
  • You could understand my excitement when I heard that he was the master behind the latest release.
• Crafted in 1992 by Booker Noe as part of the Small Batch collection, Basil Hayden introduced a more subtle side of bourbon compared to its counterparts.
  • Named after the late Master Distiller Basil Hayden Sr.
• The thing that excites me the most about this bottle is who was responsible for it. 
  • Freddie Noe might be one of the first master distillers, who I would consider to be a master blender first. 
  • I wonder if they are tight lipped on what red wine was used because there were multiple types? 
• Little book is blended by percentages of different whiskies so, with how perfectly blended and well rounded this bottle is, why couldn’t this be blended similarly with different percentages of basil hayden finished in different wine casks?
• I think that naming freddie noe might prove to be a game changer in the whiskey world. 
  • I think we should expect to see some mind blowing releases from Beam Suntory
