The new Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye whiskey, according to those behind it, brings into one bottle an interesting mix of alcohol to create this expression. What you’ve got in this is Kentucky straight rye whiskey, with its characteristic spiciness, balanced with the soft, rounded presence of Canadian rye from the Alberta Distillery. These two ryes are then touched with California port to add both a hint of sweetness and a deep ruby color to the final blend.
Plans call for this 80 proof rye whiskey, priced around $40, to be available nationwide starting now. It is packaged in a deep red, hand-applied parchment bib and wrapped with the copper belt iconic to Basil Hayden’s. You’ll find limited official tasting notes below for your consideration.
