Excellent Experience
I find my way around many bourbons & ryes, more than most women I assume, our family loves to collect. I am honestly ALL about this dark rye. I find myself reaching for this bottle more than most. I constantly hype it to strangers, friends & family. The depth of flavor, comfort of heat without the overwhelming burn, the fullness & rich color... It's absolutely wonderful. It's more than worthy for a spot on home the liquor shelf, for a gift, for a celebration, you won't be disappointed. So smooth & easy to drink.

With time it becomes one of the greats
When I first opened a bottle of Basil Hayden's Dark Rye I wasn't too impressed to be honest, but after drinking 1/2 the bottle and letting it sit for few months it's changed into an experience I've never had before. I think the addition of port has helped this rye evolve into a very unique whiskey. If you're a wine lover, then I think you'd enjoy this whiskey.
