On The Rocks' limited edition Manhattan craft cocktail is made with Basil Hayden Dark Rye Whiskey (a personal favorite of mine), a unique flavor profile featuring Kentucky rye grain, Canadian rye, and a splash of California port.
Jim Beam introduced the famous Small Batch line to a market that seldom looked above the bottom shelf in 1992. Basil Hayden was a standout in that release and remains a go-to pour for anyone looking to transition from low-cost to high-end bourbon.
