Basil Hayden's was introduced as a brand in 1992 and belongs to Beam Suntory. The bottling in the Small Batch Collection is reminiscent of Basil Hayden Sr. who produced his bourbon with a high rye content as early as 1796.
Whiskey production in the United States is dominated by about a dozen large distilleries, so that almost all whiskey sold comes from a single distillery, and blended whiskey is almost non-existent as a mixture of the whiskey of several distilleries.
The terms single barrel for whiskey from a single cask and small batch for whiskey from a relatively small number of casks have become established as distinguishing features.
