Basil Hayden’s, a brand of Beam Suntory Inc., introduced its first-ever permanent addition to its portfolio: Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye. Much like Basil Hayden’s flagship bourbon, its Dark Rye is designed to stand out, uniting the duo of Kentucky straight rye whiskey and Canadian rye with a splash of California port, the company says. Deep amber with ruby undertones, Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye offers oaky aromas that are balanced with dark berries and molasses on the nose.
