{"product_id":"basil-hayden-dark-rye-whiskey-750ml","title":"Basil Hayden Dark Rye Whiskey 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eBasil Hayden Dark Rye is a blend of rye whiskeys finished with a touch of California port, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt explores the harmonious combination of three distinct liquid profiles. Kentucky straight rye provides a firm base of spicy rye, rich oak, dried fruit and subtle molasses. Canadian rye from the award-winning Alberta Distillery is layered in, adding depth to the dried fruit and a more viscous mouthfeel than a traditional rye. Finally, a touch of California port is blended in directly to add juicy, ripe fruit without muddying the wood notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is oaky, with dark berry fruit and molasses sweetness. The palate brings a complex mix of caramel, dried fruit, oak and warm spice with a rounded, creamy mouthfeel, and the finish lingers with dried fruit, subtle rye spice and gentle sweetness. Full in flavour and still delicately nuanced, it bridges rye lovers and those who prefer something sweeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaunched as a permanent addition to the Basil Hayden range in 2017, it makes an easy, crowd-pleasing gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak, dark berry fruit and molasses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, dried fruit, oak and warm spice; creamy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried fruit, subtle rye spice and gentle sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Basil Hayden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Rye Whisky (Kentucky and Canadian rye) with port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky straight rye, Alberta Distillery rye, California port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky, United States and Alberta, Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or on the rocks, or try it in a Manhattan.
