Beautifully.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasil Hayden Red Wine Cask Finish is a special release that takes the brand's signature high-rye bourbon and partially ages it in Californian red wine casks — the result is a layered, complex expression ripe with dried fruit and cherry, while staying true to the classic bourbon flavors of vanilla and charred oak.
