About this item

Highlights

  • 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 Dark Rye is always perfect sipped on the rocks as well as in a Boulevardier

Description

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 Dark Rye is always perfect sipped on the rocks as well as in a Boulevardier.

Great Whisky

Outstanding flavor. I drink it with water. I am Canadian living in Alberta so I drink rye regularly.

BH and egg nog

Last year I tried using this in my home made egg nog and after bottling it and let it sit and shaking every few days to keep it mixed we final popped the cork and tried it. Man what a taste. It was smooth and tasty. Better than any other I had tried. It was a big hit. So if you haven’t never tried it in nog you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing!

I tried this recently and was stunned at how good it it is. I’ve recommended to friends who are bourbon drinkers and those who’ve tried it were pleased.

Tastes like maraschino cherries and is too sweet

I love rye whiskey but this is not what I expected. It tastes like watered down whiskey with port and sugar.

My favorite Rye

There is almost a cola taste to this Rye. I drink it on the rocks or in a Manhattan, either way, smooth and delicious.

Tried it on the recommendation of a bartender

I usually drink Bourbon and the wheated type when I can get it. Bartender recommended this Basil Hayden Dark Rye as one that she prefers. I bought a bottle and am pleasantly surprised with the smoothness, taste and aftertaste. It will be part of my drink choices in the future. A very good drink on the rocks.

Really enjoying the Dark Rye

I grew up in Ireland and have enjoyed Irish Whiskey for years. Last year I spent a few days on the Bourbon Trail and decided to give it a try. I tasted BH's Dark Rye and loved it. I took a bottle back to Ireland on my last trip and shared it with friends who also loved it.

Sooo Smoooooth

I was skeptical at first but tried a bottle of the Dark Rye and wow, so smooth, so easy drinking, this stuff could be dangerous. I love Templeton Rye 8 yr and 6 yr, this Rye is about as good, not as harsh for sure.

Amazing

Was never into the dark liquors and went to a volleyball tournament. Our hotel had a rye bar and this was suggested. Turned my flavor profile real quick and now this is my favorite and go to!

An Old Fashioned but not an Old Fashioned
