Basil Hayden's Dark Rye 750ml

Kentucky

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points - A luxurious nose chock full of ripe red stone fruit, vanilla bean, nutmeg, and clove. Superbly full and round in the mouth, where subtle underlying flavors of port help to highlight spicy cinnamon and clove flavors. Memorable and unique. Would make for a sublime Manhattan! - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Great Value)(Finalist).April/2018

This blend explores the harmonious combination of 3 distinct liquid profiles for one memorable whiskey. It begins with Kentucky Rye, providing a firm base of spicy rye, rich oak, dried fruit and subtle molasses undertones to build on. Canadian Rye from our award-winning Alberta Distillery is skillfully layered in. This unique rye provides depth to the notes of dried fruit and a more viscous mouth feel than a traditional rye. It’s then finished with a touch of California Port blended in directly to add complementary juicy, ripe fruit without muddying the existing wood notes. The end result is a whiskey full in flavor and still delicately nuanced.

Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye is always perfect sipped on the rocks as well as in a Boulevardier.
