The grain is steeped in water to begin germination and then kiln-dried, a process familiar from single malt Scotch and craft beer but rare in American rye. The result is an unexpected softness and approachability, with the mellow spice complemented by gentle sweet and floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelicate sweet and floral notes lead into a taste of cinnamon, sweet vanilla and toasted rye bread, and the finish brings delicate chocolate and warm spice. Launched in 1992, Basil Hayden is one of four brands in Booker Noe's Small Batch Bourbon Collection, made at the James B. Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft and approachable, it makes a welcome gift for any whiskey drinker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat as the first sip of any occasion.\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\u003cp\u003eRye whiskey is made from a mash rich in rye grain, traditionally known for a spicier, drier character than bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled at 80 proof, it sits lightly on the palate, in keeping with Basil Hayden's signature approachable style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delicate, sweet and floral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cinnamon, sweet vanilla and toasted rye bread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delicate chocolate and warm spice.\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 (James B.
