Sazerac Rye

Vanilla oak and a bit of spice on the nose. The finish is peppery and butterscotch

👀: Light amber-gold on the pour, thin, watery legs; 👃: Pungent, funky, dusty, the usual rye on the front end, spicy with baking spices, wafts of butterscotch, syrupy and thick like maple syrup; 👅: Immediate peppery hits along with nutmeg, gives way to the alcohol waft, oily on the palate; 🏁: Long finish that stays with you long after you finish your dram, a bit harsh on the back end, all that disappears and you end up with the funk.

First rye I have tried. Not too intense and nice spice. Overall I like it. Plus I am a native of New Orleans, so there’s that. Lol. Nose: Sweet, vanilla, spicy Palate: Spice, pepper, bitter herb Finish: Bittersweet. Seriously. Tastes bitter and sweet at the same time. Tastes a little herbal/ medicinal to me too.
