Distillery Information

In 1796, Master Distiller Basil Hayden Sr. broke the rules by mixing small grains into the mash of a traditional corn base. A Maryland transplant unafraid to stand out amidst the residing establishment, Basil conjectured that the spicy flavor of rye would be a striking complement to the sweet smoothness of corn in his distillerys standard bourbon.
