BH Dark Rye is a must have on the shelf

BH Dark Rye’s spicy fruit flavor makes a very nice Old Fashioned

Good sipping

I prefer the malted rye but this is a good next choice.

Great Flavor

My favorite whiskies are single malt scotch finished in sherry casks. I do drink bourbon and rye from time to time. Basil Hayden's Dark Rye is the perfect blend of rye whiskey but with that familiar sweet note that I have grown to love in my single malts. Basil Hayden's hit it out of the park with this blend. The amount of sweetness adds just a little viscosity and the perfect finish. I drink mine neat, but I'm sure on the rocks or a splash of water wouldn't hurt the already perfect palate that this whiskey provides on it's own.

Smooth as hell

I've been drinking bourbon for longer than most people reading this have been alive. Because I didn't grow up with rye whiskey it's always been a bit of a mystery to me and I have typically ignored it for the most part. I'm not sure what to say about this exactly, but I have to say in all my years of drinking bourbons and such, this is the smoothest whiskey I have ever had. For full disclosure I would add that I've been in the retail liquor business for 35 years and my family has been owned liquor stores since Prohibition. It would be interesting to see what other peoples' opinions are, but I see myself hoarding a bunch of this and drinking it many times over. From a flavor standpoint it doesn't jump out with multiple flavors, but from a smoothness standpoint it's unparalleled. So for that I'm giving it a solid 5 stars. It doesn't have ANY of the heat, burn or bite that typical brown spirits have. Also, I enjoy bourbon/rye mixed with Sprite or Sprite Zero and I make no apologies for that. But OMG I've never had hardly anything from any spirit line that is as smooth as this. It's just incredible and my hat's off to the distiller who blended this!

Tried it on the recommendation of a bartender

I usually drink Bourbon and the wheated type when I can get it. Bartender recommended this Basil Hayden Dark Rye as one that she prefers. I bought a bottle and am pleasantly surprised with the smoothness, taste and aftertaste. It will be part of my drink choices in the future. A very good drink on the rocks.
