While Basil Hayden bourbon is characterized by a higher percentage of rye that typically creates a spicier character, this expression leverages a malting process that transforms the rye grain to deliver a more subtle, mellow spice with delicate sweet and floral notes. The 100% malted rye mash biller imparts a delicate floral aroma and soft notes of vanilla and toasted rye bread, with a light finish of chocolate and warm spice.
