Tasting Notes
"Basil Hayden Two by Two Rye is a soft and sweet addition to the category. Rye spice just peeks out from the more dominant notes of vanilla and oak, backed with subtle hints of pear, chestnut, and cocoa. It's nice but one wonders if this whiskey might stand out more at a higher proof; at 40 percent ABV it's an approachable introduction to the spirit, but may leave seasoned rye lovers wanting a little more oomph."
