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
"Basil Hayden's first foray into rye is easy to enjoy. Defined by sweet, rounded notes of oak and balanced by a peppery rye spice, it makes for an approachable entry into the category. At only 80 proof, however, its flavors do come across as a bit subdued; a little higher strength would likely help it stand out in the category."
