Basil Hayden's x Beehive

Basil Hayden’s® Bourbon, one of the fastest growing super-premium bourbons on the market, is partnering with Utah-based creamery Beehive Cheese to release a bourbon-infused cheese, just in time for the holiday season. The special-edition offering, “Pour Me A Slice,” features a semi-firm, Jersey cow’s milk cheese infused with Basil Hayden’s Bourbon that tastes sweet with a hint of spice.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Beehive Cheese to create a special addition to their lineup of expertly crafted cheeses,” said Rob Mason, Vice President of Marketing for Whiskey at Beam Suntory. “Basil Hayden’s has always valued creating expressions that are best enjoyed with friends and family, so we think ‘Pour Me A Slice’ is a perfect pairing when sharing our bourbon with friends and family.”

As a great addition to any social gathering, “Pour Me A Slice” provides bourbon and cheese enthusiasts a unique offering to elevate their cheese board. The high-rye profile of Basil Hayden’s gives the cheese its one-of-a-kind flavor that pairs nicely with Basil Hayden’s neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail. This exciting new cheese also makes a special gift this season.

“Our goal is to craft cheeses that bring people together through their elevated, artisanal flavor,” said Pat Ford, Co-Founder of Beehive Cheese. “We’re excited to partner with Basil Hayden’s because the trademark spice of this bourbon adds a really unique flavor to the cheese that makes it perfect for a gathering or gifting.”
