Basil Hayden Dark Rye Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Blending is an art form, and our Dark Rye is your chance to own what might very well be a masterpiece.

It all begins with Kentucky Rye, providing a firm foundation of spice, oak, dried fruit and subtle molasses undertones for this release to build upon. From there, Canadian Rye from our award-winning Alberta Distillery is skillfully layered in. A touch of California Port, and its complementary notes of ripe fruit provides the third and final layer to a whiskey just as at home on the rocks as it is in a cocktail.

Full in flavor, yet delicately nuanced, you’d be wise to grab a bottle of our Dark Rye to experience this magical blend for yourself.

TastingNotesA 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.
