Basil Hayden Malted Rye offers a sweet and mellow experience, featuring notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted rye bread in the taste, a floral and oaky aroma, and a finish of chocolate and warm spice. Unlike traditional rye, the malting process softens its characteristic spice, resulting in a more approachable, well-rounded, and refined flavor profile suitable for introducing rye whiskey to new drinkers.
