Sazerac Rye

Not worth the hunt, decent stuff.

Sweet, floral, fruity

On the sweet side, but quite smooth

Light, golden amber. Thin. Brown sugar, apple strudel, rye spice and cinnamon roll. The palate is much the same and leans toward being almost a bit too sweet but some nice black tea and wood notes come long to prevent it from being cloying. Imagine plain Buffalo trace… then add a bit more rye. Not a lot of surprises here. I can see how this would make a fine Sazerac cocktail as the anise would bring a welcome bit of complexity. For anything else I think I would go with Rittenhouse on the part of its sharper edges and big cinnamon red hots note. This would be a fine $25 rye. And thats all I have to say about that.
