The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Basil Hayden Malted Rye Whiskey highlights the brand's commitment to innovation, built on a distinctive 100% malted rye mash bill that sets it apart from traditional rye whiskeys made with unmalted grain. Produced within the Jim Beam family of premium small-batch bourbons, this expression showcases how malting the rye grain unlocks new layers of flavor. Expect a nose of toasted grain, honeyed spice, and light fruit, with a palate that brings together the classic peppery bite of rye alongside a smoother, bready sweetness from the malting process, finishing clean with warm spice and oak.
This rye's balanced, approachable profile makes it a great choice for sipping neat or on the rocks, and its malted character also shines in a rye Old Fashioned or classic whiskey sour. Pair it with roasted nuts, charcuterie, or grilled sausage for a satisfying match.
For whiskey drinkers curious about how mash bill innovation changes the character of rye whiskey, Basil Hayden Malted Rye offers an easy, flavorful entry point into craft experimentation from a well-known name.
