Basil Hayden Malted, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2023 ● Reviewer: Julia Higgins ● Category: Rye Whiskey
Malty sweetness reigns supreme on the nose, though there’s plenty of cinnamon spice, whipped cream, chai latte, and a zing of raspberry syrup rounding it out. On the palate, more warming spice, with cinnamon in the spotlight: cinnamon babka, cinnamon doughnut, and cinnamon roll cheesecake. Sweet cinnamon takes the finish home, joined by cinnamon ice cream, French toast with whipped cream, and a hint of berry compote.
