Rich caramel and brown sugar complemented by back notes of soft rye and vanilla

Palate

A balanced blend of sumptuous rye and brown sweets with an ample woody accent

Note

Experience the intriguing blend of rye whiskies with a touch of rum, balancing our signature rye spice with a subtle Caribbean sweetness.

With its trademark spicy finish from a high-rye recipe, Basil Haydens Bourbon has always been known for standing out in the crowd. Inspired by that legacy, Basil Haydens is excited to deliver another distinctive whiskey experience with the introduction of its latest limited-edition release - Basil Haydens Caribbean Reserve Rye.

Crafted as an approachable whiskey expression to enjoy during the warm summer months, Basil Haydens Caribbean Reserve Rye takes inspiration from the sweet and spicy contrast between rye whiskey and rum. The limited-time offering features a blend of 8-year-old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey and 4-year-old Canadian Rye Whisky, which bring to life layers of flavor, including distinct spice, toasted oak and vanilla notes. The blend is then finished with the addition of Black Strap Rum which ties the rye whiskey pairing together with sweet notes of brown sugar and molasses. The result is a balanced whiskey that remains approachable to discover at 80 proof.

Basil Haydens Caribbean Reserve Rye is the latest in a series of successful rye whiskey innovations from the brand, each of which push the limits of category convention to bring something unexpected to whiskey fans.
