The Speakeasy Bourbon Club Special Episode: Basil Hayden's 10 Year Rye Tasting Notes and Review. The Speakeasy Bourbon Club Special Episode: Basil Hayden's 10 Year Rye Tasting Notes and Review. Basil Hayden's 10 Year Rye is an easy invitation into the Rye whiskies. Its bottled at 80 proof and fairly underwhelming to the nose. I’m not getting that ethanol punch so you can really nose this one pretty deep. What you will get is a corny sweetness and rye bread notes. Theres a touch of oak and little char to round out the nose. You can tell this is going to be an easy drinker at first smell. The taste gives a watery mouth feel but a buttery sweetness does come through at the end. At $60 theres not much value here for me but as previously mentioned this is an easy introduction to Rye family.  Cheers
