Basil Hayden Dark Rye is a distinctive blend of Kentucky straight rye, Canadian rye and a measure of California port, bottled at 80 proof. Adding the port directly to the recipe rather than finishing in barrel gives this rye a fruit-forward, full-flavored character that sets it apart in the Basil Hayden lineup. Known for quality and innovation, the brand delivers a smooth, velvety pour with warm spice and sweet fruit that is approachable yet sophisticated.
