Introduction:
Basil Hayden’s Two by Two Rye is a masterfully blended Kentucky whiskey that unites two straight rye whiskies with two bourbon whiskies, creating a refined and balanced expression. This unique blend delivers the spice of rye with the smooth sweetness of bourbon, resulting in an exceptionally approachable and complex spirit.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Aromas of rich caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak layered with hints of rye spice and dried fruit.
-
Palate: Smooth and medium-bodied with flavours of brown sugar, honey, and baking spice balanced by oak and subtle peppery notes.
-
Finish: Long and warm with lingering sweetness, spice, and gentle oak tones.
Pairings:
Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate its balance of sweet and spicy. It also pairs beautifully with roasted nuts, dark chocolate, or charcuterie, and makes an elegant base for classic whiskey cocktails.
