Basil Hayden's 10 year old rye whiskey review: Extra age is nice, but that 80 proof is holding this brand back. cocktails bourbon whiskey
I discussed how that particular Beam small batch collection product has often felt like it was trapped in a very small “slice” of the demographic, between the affordability of 100 proof Knob Creek and the luxe trappings of cask-strength Booker’s, Basil Hayden’s and its mere 80 proof have always been much more distinctively positioned. Simply put, this is “fancy” whiskey for people who are new to whiskey, or who prefer their bourbon or rye to be very much on the mild side.
The brand’s new 10 Year Rye, on the other hand, is precisely that—an 80 proof rye that is the mirror image of the brand’s premium 10 Year Bourbon, carrying a similar $60 MSRP. It seems to be Beam betting on the power of the age statement to generate interest as it positions Basil Hayden’s 10 Year Rye as a premium cocktail/sipping rye.
Tasting this rye, it’s quickly revealed to be ultra-drinkable, if slightly watery in texture. There’s a bit of buttery toffee candy sweetness, but the drying oak takes over, with slightly tannic qualities. Ethanol is very, very light. A dusting of cinnamon sugar and perhaps a touch of mint are present, but the oak takes over, leading to a notably dry finish. All in all, there’s not anything objectively wrong here, but it’s missing a certain vivaciousness.
