Golden Rye features a distinctive four-grain mash bill that combines traditional rye with corn, malted barley, and a touch of Canadian rye for added smoothness. This careful blending creates a whiskey that balances rye’s signature spice with a softer, rounded finish. Bottled at 80 proof, it maintains Basil Hayden’s reputation for accessibility without sacrificing depth of character.
