This is the more likely, since the latter, as early as 1798, was in the habit of writing his name Basil Hayden, .S;-. The one named in the text was the proprietor of the first mill put up on the Rolling Fork. He died of cholera in 1833." Ben. J. Webb, The Centenary of Catholicity in Kentucky. (Charles A. Rogers, 1884; Reprinted by McDowell Publications) MY THIRD GREAT-GRANDFATHER, BASIL HAYDEN HISTORY In 1796, Master Distiller Basil Hayden Sr. broke he 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. And much to the chagrin of the traditionalist set, Basil was right. His recipe was a masterpiece, resulting in a unique, singular small batch bourbon whiskey that was blessed with rich hints of peppermint, notes of pepper, slight citrus overtones, and a spicy, warming finish. Artfully aged at a relatively mild 80 proof, Basil Haydens® is as novel and delectable a bourbon whiskey as it was when the master distiller rolled out his first barrel over 200 years ago. Marked by a rich cascade of aromas and flavors, Basil Haydens® is still a small batch bourbon, but with broader appeal. And just as it was in 1796, the only ule to enjoying our Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey is that it should be done responsibly. unfinished line | Joseph Leo Hayden | b.1837 d. | Father: Joseph Thompson Hayden Mother: Nancy Williams | | Joseph Thompson Hayden Spouse1: Nancy Williams | b.1809 d.1869 | Father: Basil Hayden JR Mother: Mary Rapier | | Leander Hayden | b.1831 d. | Father: Joseph Thompson Hayden Mother: Nancy Williams | | Ledron Hayden | b.1839 Arkansas d. | Father: Joseph Thompson Hayden Mother: Nancy Williams | | Leo Hayden | b.1834 d. | Father: Joseph Thompson Hayden Mother: Nancy Williams | | Margaret Hayden | b.1801 d. | Father: Basil Hayden JR Mother: Mary Rapier | | Susan Hayden | b.1832 d. | Father: Joseph Thompson Hayden Mother: Nancy Williams | | | | | |
