Sazerac Rye

Tasteful and light - heavy burn, but light on the tounge. Very tasty

Smooth, herbal, fade

Ok in my manhattans, nothing to write home about IMO

On the nose, the aromas that immediately come forward are rye spice, vanilla, and smoke. Mint, and tart green apple are also noticeable. The tasting notes that are immediately present are the spices which hit the throat and sit there gently, followed by vanilla and brown sugar that coat the roof of the mouth. A gentle cherry note or perhaps a white grapefruit note is also noticeable. The smoke obtained on the nosing does not come across upon tasting. Further sips bring out a briny salt water note that is stunning. A good rye but pricey in my area and allocated. There are better Canadian ryes out there including anything from Lot 40 for far less money. Nose: 3.5/5 Taste: 4.25/5 Overall 4/5 Repurchase: No Type: Friday Night Pour

Good profile low-mild bourbon rye that can range in price. Does a lot of things well, for its weight class but punches well above it. Rye notes. Great mixer at a sweetspot price point. Little rye spice, berry, some sweet. Unstated age believed to be at about 5-6yr. Price can really vary ($20- 40) but at a $23.99 store barrel pick it’s a great option for cocktails, and can also be poured on its own. A classic worth exploring
