THREE DISTINCT FLAVORS. ONE MEMORABLE SIP.
Blending is an art form, and our Dark Rye is your chance to own what might very well be a masterpiece.
It all begins with Kentucky Rye, providing a firm foundation of spice, oak, dried fruit and subtle molasses undertones for this release to build upon. From there, Canadian Rye from our award-winning Alberta Distillery is skillfully layered in. A touch of Port, and its complementary notes of ripe fruit, provides the third and final layer to a whiskey just as at home on the rocks as it is in a cocktail.
Full in flavor, yet delicately nuanced, you’d be wise to grab a bottle of our Dark Rye to experience this magical blend for yourself.
A modern cocktail with French ancestry, our Dark Rye variation of the Boulevardier adds a sweeter profile while maintaining its assured sophistication.
The Louisville is a marriage of baking spice, dried orange, vanilla, and rye whiskey. This flavor-forward cocktail pairs the dried fruit notes of Basil Hayden® Dark Rye with the citrus notes in the Curacao to create a cocktail as unique as its namesake.
"Exceptional. Tried instead of my usual balvenie single malt at corona Cigar Company in Orlando, FL. Perfect with a cigar."

"Amazing. Was never into the dark liquors and went to a volleyball tournament. Our hotel had a rye bar and this was suggested. Turned my flavor profile real quick and now this is my favorite and go to!"

"An Old Fashioned but not an Old Fashioned. I have tried the whole Basil Hayden line and this is by far my favorite. I love it on the rocks. It is sweet. It is smooth. So good. It is like an Old Fashioned but it is not and Old Fashioned. Sip and enjoy. You are welcome in advance. Cheers."
