WIN: Double Passes To An Unforgettable Golden Hour Session Aboard The Jackson In Sydney Harbour

The legendary Basil Hayden has been showing off a different, lighter side of bourbon since 1992 – retaining that punch American whiskey is known for and balancing that with a gentle, more cocktail-friendly profile. It’s this perfect balance that makes Basil Hayden the go-to for Golden Hour drinking.

As such, the label has brought a special Golden Hour cocktail to Sydney for a sophisticated golden hour as afternoon rolls into night, with abundant food, drinks and entertainment on board the well-known luxury vessel, The Jackson. To celebrate the occasion, we’re giving away 20 double passes to the event, valued at over $500 each, so you and a mate can have a night of American whiskey while cruising the best harbour in the world.

For the unfamiliar, Basil Hayden is an American whiskey known widely for its light-bodied, 80-proof core expression and the distinctive rye-forward mash bill of its core expression.

The smooth palate with a spicy level of complexity in the finish has made Basil Hayden a household name in the states, and it’s well overdue for that reputation to seep into Australia’s consciousness.
