Basil Hayden's 'Dark Rye' Straight Rye Whiskey (750ml) San Francisco Bay The grapes are vineyard sortedCritic tasting note: "A blend of American rye, Canadian rye, and port. Gentle spice and sweet vanilla appear on the nose, but the impression of browning apple, wet leaves, and oxidized red wine are somewhat dreary. Simple and sweet up front, it feels thin, like fake maple syrup, with more sweet vanilla carried on a rather light body, almost resembling some rice whiskies." Whisky Advocate
