Emerging from the historic James B. Beam Distilling Co., this rare bourbon pays homage to Raymond B. Hayden's original high-rye recipe first created in the late 1800s. Bottled at 100 proof, this 16-year bourbon represents a singular release that will not be repeated, with extremely limited availability across select markets. Crafted from a traditional mashbill of 63% corn, 35% rye, and 2% malted barley—the same recipe used in Basil Hayden—this whiskey offers a sophisticated evolution of the brand's classic profile. Each bottle represents a deep exploration of time and barrel influence, transformed during sixteen years of patient aging in charred oak.
