Sazerac Rye

Tastes of honeysuckle on the finish

Sazerac rye is one of those quintessential rye whiskies to drink neat or to make sazeracs and Manhattans. It's youth and rye spice gives it a lot of heat which elevates the rye in cocktails allowing it to never become overshadowed by the other ingredients. Carrying a blast of cinnamon, anise, and cloves with a hint of peppermint on the finish, it is one of the most solid deals in rye whiskey. I can find bottles regularly at 22 dollars in Louisiana.
