I had a sip of really good bourbon whiskey the other day and it left a lasting impression on me. I'm not a whiskey connoisseur, but I bet the pros would consider what I had top-notch whiskey. It was Basil Hayden's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The first impression you'll get is the smell. It has hints of soothing spices and peppermint that will make you want to savor every sniff you take. It also goes down really smoothly, like a something that was specially crafted for sipping, hence the name. It's also reasonably priced at about $52, which is really cheap for the level of quality and craftsmanship you experience when you drink this fine Whiskey.
