Basil Hayden Malted Rye - Item Code: 07183
Discover Basil Hayden Malted Rye:
Basil Hayden’s Malted Rye Whiskey presents a unique twist on the classic American rye by incorporating a notable addition of malted barley to its mash bill. This innovative blend distinguishes itself from the traditional rye offerings, which typically spotlight the spicy and fruity characteristics of the rye grain alone.
Upon nosing this spirit, one is greeted with an inviting bouquet that harmoniously marries the peppery bite of rye with the nutty, biscuit-like qualities derived from malted barley. The aroma suggests a complexity that beckons a deeper exploration through tasting.
The palate experience is equally intriguing. The initial sip reveals a lighter-bodied whiskey that doesn’t overwhelm but instead offers an elegant dance of flavors. The expected rye spiciness is there but it’s rounded out by a subtle sweetness and hints of caramel and vanilla—likely imparted from its time spent aging in charred oak barrels.
What sets Basil Hayden’s Malted Rye apart is its finish. It departs from the typical dryness associated with many ryes and instead leaves a smooth, almost creamy aftertaste where those malt notes linger pleasantly on the tongue.

Rye is a distinct style of whiskey that is primarily made from rye grain, with a minimum of 51% rye in its mash bill, along with water and yeast. This spirit is known for its unique flavor profile, characterized by spicy and peppery notes complemented by hints of caramel, vanilla, and sometimes fruit. Rye whiskey typically undergoes distillation using either pot still or column still methods and must be aged in new charred oak barrels for at least two years to be classified as straight rye.
The texture of rye whiskey ranges from medium to full-bodied, offering a smooth mouthfeel that can occasionally feel slightly oily. Its complex aroma includes herbal undertones and can finish dry, making it a versatile choice for classic cocktails such as the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Sazerac. Originating mainly from the United States—particularly Kentucky and Pennsylvania—rye is also produced in Canada and some European countries like Germany. Its rich flavor profile makes it an essential ingredient in both traditional and modern cocktail recipes.
