Sazerac Rye

Nose: buttery, warm glazed donuts, baking spice Palate: drinks like a 90 proof even though it’s a rye (very crushable), don’t get a ton of spice, little dry oak on the back end Finish: medium, not overly complex (young) Overall: solid pour overall, staple rye

Smooth, not the flavor I was expecting

Rye spice cut with fruity sweetness that makes oh so drinkable. Revisited this review 5 months later and that original simple sentence really does capture it all.
