Basil Hayden Rye 10 year 750 ml

Basil Hayden's 10 Year Old Rye Whiskey is a limited-release Kentucky Straight Rye from the Basil Hayden's line, distilled by James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, and aged a full decade in charred oak barrels. Bottled at 80 proof, it opens with sweet vanilla and oak on the nose, followed by approachable spice, caramel, and a touch of light fruit on the palate, before finishing with faint tobacco and warm cinnamon heat. Ten years in the barrel rounds out the rye's usual bite into something smoother and more layered. It suits rye drinkers who want more age and polish without losing the spice that makes rye rye.

How to drink Basil Hayden's 10 Year Rye

Pour it neat in a rocks glass to catch the vanilla and cinnamon on the nose, or add one ice cube if you prefer the spice dialed back slightly.
