Sazerac Rye

Hdudh

How is this a rye? I get no rye spice. This would be so much better at 100 proof. It’s good, but if you’re in the mood for a rye this ain’t it. Very fruity. I know a lot of people recommend this for cocktails but anything less than 100 proof is criminal in a cocktail. This one is best sipped neat.

Very solid for a rye and that is saying something for me. I get spearmint on the noise with some rye, anise,and baking spices. The palate is some toothpaste like taste, anise, and oak with baking spice. Finish is short to medium with oak and mint, not my favorite pour but for the price it makes a good Manhattan. I am still exploring ryes so I want to be as fair as possible.

A bourbon pretending to be a rye! Always disappointed sipping it if I am feeling like a rye

Right amount of heat on the back in. Small amount of sweet flavor up front. Medium finish. Very good.

Spice, cherry, vanilla
