Anyone tried Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye?

[Attjack]

Basil Hayden's adds rye with a hit of port, but don't call it flavored whiskey




I have not as I just read about it now.

I've read a lot of negative reviews. Never tried it myself. Folks say it's too porty.

The rating is not far off the original over at Distiller.

I thought you were going to ask about bread!

I thought you were going to ask about bread!

I really didn't click on it the first time cause I just eat my pastrami with the white stuff. But then I couldn't resist to see what THIS rye bread looked like.

I just cracked my bottle last week. I thought it was pretty great! Personally I really love "finished" bourbons.

Right now anything will taste good to me with the day I’m having.

Never had it.(The thought of blending Basil Hayden saddens me ).

If you find it's too "porty" for your taste, but still looking for something a little different, maybe go for Angels Envy... not blended with port like the BH rye, but finished in port casks so the flavor is definitely there but not overwhelming, quite nice.
