Sazerac Rye

Not spicy enough for my taste, very easy to drink, pleasant but not exciting

Sazerac Rye - 1- A bit more traditional on this nose with pleasant bits of orange and perhaps a bit of baking spice and overall a darker and richer nose. coming back a third time I get a bit of traditional oak. the orange on the nose may follow into the palate, and I think it may present as tangerine? I'm getting old fasioned in a glass nose with the orange, a bit of bitterness "bitters" and like a light cherry. Fruit cocktail? The cherry turns syrupy, almost reminiscent of a honey note... combined with the oak its very balanced and I would be happy to sip on this into the evening The last sip I got some superb berry smells, black berry and blueberry. I almost went toward grape koolaid but was immediately brought back to blueberry. The bitterness on the palate has dissappeared and makes this become instantly more favorable. a whisp of smoky char greeted me at the last moment as I finished my last sip.
