Just in time for the holidays, Basil Hayden's Bourbon teamed up with Beehive Cheese to create a unique new infused cheese called 'Pour Me a Slice.' The aged cheddar cheese is infused with Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, resulting in a flavor that's described as "sweet and creamy with a hint of bourbon spice." The brand also notes that the spiciness of the bourbon is especially detectable near the rind of the cheese.
To complement the bourbon-infused Pour Me a Slice cheese, Beehive Cheese recommends enjoying it with everything from toasted nuts and chocolate to berries, as well as ciders, medium to full-bodied wines, ciders and of course, any of Basil Hayden's premium bourbon products, neat or on the rocks.
