Basil Hayden's 'Dark Rye' Straight Rye

This unique blend combines American rye, Canadian rye, and port to create a distinctive flavor profile. While gentle spice and sweet vanilla notes greet the nose, there are hints of browning apple, wet leaves, and oxidized red wine that may seem somewhat subdued. The palate offers a simple and sweet experience initially, reminiscent of fake maple syrup, with additional sweet vanilla flavors carried on a rather light body, akin to some rice whiskies.
