Basil Hayden's Caribbean Reserve Rye (Discontinued)

Aroma: initially a lot of ethenol but as it opens it's maple syrup and pancakes jumping out of the glass! Flavor: very mapley and heavily influenced by the black strap molasses. Really sweet and not much complexity at all and a very quick finish. Overall: this is not for me, tastes artificial and too sweet. So many things I would rather have for any price point

Smooth very much enjoyed this version of basil Hayden.

Not bad, overall, but I really hoped this would be comparable to Angles Envy Rye and it's much thinner and less complex. For the money, I'd probably just buy rum.
