The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Basil Hayden Dark Rye Whiskey pushes the boundaries of what a rye whiskey can be, blending together three distinct liquid profiles into one harmonious pour. Produced by Basil Hayden, part of the Jim Beam family of premium bourbons, this expression layers a base of rye whiskey with small additions of port wine and a touch of California red wine, creating a uniquely dark, fruit-forward character that sets it apart from traditional rye. On the nose, look for notes of dark berries, dried fruit, and warm spice, while the palate brings together peppery rye grain, wine-like sweetness, and soft vanilla oak, finishing smooth with a lingering fruity spice.
Because of its wine-influenced complexity, Dark Rye is fantastic served simply over ice to let its layered flavors open up, or used in a twist on a classic Manhattan for a richer, fruitier variation. It also pairs nicely with dark chocolate desserts or aged cheeses.
Dark Rye showcases Basil Hayden's willingness to experiment while staying true to quality craftsmanship, making it a great choice for whiskey drinkers looking for something a little different from the standard rye lineup.
