Basil Hayden's Two By Two Rye (Discontinued)

Really good without water or ice. An ice cube in it is equally good but not necessary.

N: Rye spice, grass, oak, and maybe some vanilla. The smells are aromatic and blend under the grass well. P: Sweet! There is vanilla and light oak. Also some bubblegum. I am not getting much rye. There is peanut butter like a lot of Jim Beam products. F: The finish seems to be vague. I certainly get the bourbon notes and some rye spice at the last taste which is interesting since it didn’t show on the palate much. Mostly peanuts, muddled leather and some oak that warps around the smooth palate.

Soft, vanilla, bland

Sweet. Not much nose. Some oak.

The first bottle bought and paid extra for. It’s been a long few years having this ever so often, I’ve had more pours that were just okay than ones I’ve really enjoyed. Not sure if I’ll get a replacement other than to have the full Basil Hayden’s set.
