RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.
Tasting Notes
"The black strap announces its presence with a deep mahogany color in the glass, as well as a first impression on the nose of molasses followed by dark brown sugar, burnt caramel, and cotton candy. The palate is thin, as is often the case with the 40% ABV Basil Hayden's lineup, but some big flavors develop, think: graham cracker pie crust speckled with brown sugar and baking spices. A quick finish leans drier, with earthy oak and leather leading the way to more of that molasses-brown sugar 1-2 punch."
