A distinctive blend that brings together Kentucky rye, Canadian rye, and a touch of California port, Basil Hayden Dark Rye offers a fresh take on traditional rye whiskey. Aromas of dried fruit, baking spice, and toasted oak lead to a palate of dark cherry, raisin, caramel, cinnamon, and black pepper. The port adds subtle richness and a hint of sweetness without overwhelming the whiskey's lively spice, resulting in a smooth, approachable sip with a long, warming finish. Equally enjoyable neat, over ice, or in classic whiskey cocktails with a richer, fruit-forward twist.
