"I've been hard on Basil Hayden products in the past, but I think they have a winner with this one. Lots of flavor in the mouth. The wine cask finish brings a lot of cherry to the party. I like this one." - Eric Burke, Bourbon Guy "Basil Hayden Red Wine Cask Finish certainly won't overwhelm your palate with flavor and richness, but it's a smooth, easy to drink whiskey that's also affordable and easy to come by. If you're looking for a simpler yet unique whiskey for a whiskey fan who prefers lower ABV's and more approachable drams, this is a perfect fit for that particular drinker." - Bottle Raiders
