Basil Hayden's 10 Year Old Rye Whiskey
Bottle completed
Appearance / Color
Golden Maple
Nose / Aroma / Smell
The aroma has nice notes of dried apricot and red apple over vanilla and toasted oak.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
We find walnut spice cake on the tongue with notes of hot toffee and a light black pepper bite at the end.
Finish
The finish is very nice with cinnamon and tobacco leaf.
A ten year-old Straight Rye that you will make you sit, sip, and savor. Jim Beam Distillery — the integral part of mega-corp Beam Suntory — is one of the largest Bourbon producers in the world. Seven generations of the Beam Family have worked the stills there since 1795. The Jim Beam Distillery makes an unusually large number of offerings for it’s core Jim Beam line and several brands, including Red Stag, Jacob’s Ghost, and a selection of higher end "small batch" Bourbons — Baker’s, Basil Hayden’s, Knob Creek, and our Bourbon of the day, Booker’s. Some people want a blast-your-head-off with Rye spice dram. Basil Hayden's 10 Year Old Rye Whiskey is NOT that kind of a Rye. Hey, we get it. Sometimes you want a rocket-ship, especially to balance the sweet in some cocktails. But Basil Hayden's 10 Year Old Rye is a new release that’s more sit-sip-and-savor or pour me a Manhattan kind of dram. Make no mistake, this is a real, thoroughly well-crafted Whiskey.
