Tasting Notes
Nose: The aroma offers a classic rye spiciness layered with sweet bourbon notes of vanilla and caramel, complemented by toasted oak, cinnamon, and a hint of fruit.
Palate: On the palate, a sweet entry of brown sugar and candied cherries transitions into a wave of baking spices, toasted oak, and the signature Jim Beam nutty character.
Finish: This rye concludes with a smooth, easy finish where sweet caramel and toasted oak linger alongside a fading rye spice and a final touch of black pepper.
Basil Hayden Dark Rye
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.
