Basil Hayden's Golden Rye (750Ml)

Description

Basil Hayden Golden Rye is a gentle, easygoing straight rye whiskey from the Jim Beam Distillery. It uses a 100% malted rye mash bill and is bottled at 80 proof.

It arrived in 2026, replacing Basil Hayden Malted Rye. It's a friendly first step into rye.

The brand points to toasted rye, warm spice and delicate florals. You'll find vanilla and honey on the nose. The sip is soft, with caramel and toasted grain. It ends clean and lightly sweet, with a little rye spice.

Pour it neat, over ice or in an Old Fashioned. VinePair gave it 91 points. Enjoy it with sharp cheddar or smoked nuts.
