This limited release blends classic Kentucky Rye rich with oak, spice and dried fruit notes with Canadian Rye from the award-winning Alberta Distillery, adding unique depth and a viscous mouthfeel. Launched October 2017, Dark Rye is a new permanent addition to the Basil Hayden's lineup. It is a blend of Kentucky straight rye, Canadian rye from Alberta Distillery, and California port-style wine. This is listed as a "whiskey specialty" so not a true rye whiskey as such. It is bottled at 40% ABV and available nationwide.

The world's most celebrated, award-winning rye, WhistlePig's 10 Year Old needs no introduction. This 10 year old straight rye whiskey is the Vermont distiller's crown jewel, bottled at 100 proof and beset with a bouquet of flavors that will tantalize and tempt the tastebuds. A whiskey defined by poise, balance and complexity, expect a powerful and punchy body that sings in perfect harmony with hints of tart orange peel, sweet and soft caramel notes and a smoky, oaky barrel char that's underpinned by spicy rye earthiness.

WhistlePig 15 Year Straight Rye Whiskey is hand bottled at 92 proof on the WhistlePig Farm with their calling-card, Canadian mash bill of 100% rye. To the eye this 15 year old whiskey has the rich golden brown color of butterscotch candy. It is mellow to the nose, with an initial burnt fruity citrus wafting out followed by the distinct spiciness of rye. One experiences a complex mingling of flavors when tasting WhistlePig 15 Year. The butterscotch appearance is reflected in the creamy sweetness that hits the front of the tongue. Then the peppery spice comes along and forcefully hits mid-palate with a pleasant heat. An oaky earthiness lingers in the long, deep finish that is not at all dry. There is nothing subtle about this whiskey as it delivers bold flavor without the burn.
