Basil Hayden's Caribbean Reserve Rye (Discontinued)

Way too sweet, rum overpowers everything

The tasting notes on the bottle talk about the sweetness that comes from the "subtle touch of rum". This is true: it is a darker and sweeter whiskey than usual. No burn, and a nice oakiness. Easy to enjoy it neat, perhaps as a "dessert whiskey".

Caramel, sweet. Interesting

Rich and sweet. Really vanilla-y . Finish is unfortunately short lived.
