Limited reviews
Only Breaking Bourbon has scored this bottle, and one review isn't enough for a negative call. Breaking Bourbon gives it 3/5, right in line with the typical rye whiskey (125 rated).
Basil Hayden Dark Rye is a blend of Kentucky straight rye whiskey, Canadian rye whisky, and California port-style wine, bottled at 80 proof. It offers aromas of oak and dark berries with a palate of caramel, dried fruit, and spice, finishing with lingering dried fruit and rye spice.
