Sazerac Rye

Palate: the basic profile reminds me of Willett 4 year rye (one of my favorites), but it’s a lesser version in all aspects. The lower proof takes away some of the strong flourishes that is present in the Willett expression. This rye is also slightly sweeter. Finish: fairly short, uneven finish — brown sugar notes are most prominent, neutralizing what little rye spice is comes through Not a bad pour for a ~$30 bottle, but there are more flavorful ryes out there that cost only slightly more.

Cherry fruit on the nose. Sweetness up front, moving to a nice rye fire and spice that lingers, tingling on the tongue

Berries with an herbal hint

Vanilla a little mint nothing over powering like chewing gum. Hints of some Carmel. Good inexpensive rye.

One of the greater Rye’s I’ve had
