I opened my bottle last night and tasted this side by side with Rittenhouse. Sazerac has the typical rye notes on the nose. I got some citrus notes along with leather and the alcohol. The palate is similar to the nose. I tasted some orange along with the spicy rye notes. I thought it was a tad thin. It’s a good rye but not one I will go out of my way to find again. It’s scarce around here. Rittenhouse was a little more complex in my opinion. Both are good but are very different.
