DEEPER FLAVOR DRAWN FROM DEEP ROOTS
To produce this very special batch of Basil Hayden Rye we employed a long known but rarely used “re-barreling” technique.
We start by aging a traditional rye four years, then transfer it to newly charred quarter cask barrels to age an additional seven years. The smaller barrels create more contact with the oak and allow more air to breathe into the cask. The result is an incredibly deep flavor.
It’s not easy or quick, but blending just a small amount of this “re-barreled” liquid into our Rye Whiskey amplifies its natural characteristics and creates a profile that shines in any serve. Find a few friends and try it for yourself. Then be sure to let us know what you think.
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.
