If you're a fan of straight rye whiskey, then you'll want to check out Sazerac Straight Rye. This delicious whiskey is made with rye grain and distilled in Kentucky. It's then aged for a minimum of two years in new, charred oak barrels.
Sazerac Straight Rye is named for the Sazerac Coffee House in New Orleans, birthplace of the famous – and sublime – Sazerac cocktail. The Coffee House was acquired by Thomas H Handy, owner also of Peychaud’s Bitters. Originally, he sold bottles of the Sazerac cocktail, which was originally made with Cognac. Today, this glorious libation is produced at the Buffalo Trace distillery.
Sweet with spices and stem ginger in syrup. Orange zest, freshly ground black pepper and mixed peels.
Thick, spicy palate with notes of Seville orange marmalade and allspice. Peanut butter, toffee and barrel char develop later on.
An oily, spicy finish.
Not a sipping Whiskey but excellent in cocktails. I enjoyed a negroni using this instead of gin, along with old fashioned and Manhattans. Excellent with Roses Lime cordial as alternative gimlet.
It's oil and spice alright, but really not much else. The proof gives it a bit of punch and on special, I'm glad I took a punt, but these American column still whiskeys are lacking the comomexity we're used to over here. Makes a nice change and I wish distillers over here would experiment with other grains, but overall, a bit ho hum
A lovely, sweet rye perfect for sipping. Take it on it's own and take your time - savour the flavour. A perfect end of the day drink. I'm a huge fan of the Islay peat reek, but I enjoy this rye just as much.
Really enjoyed this type of whisky, enjoyed plenty of sipping on ice.
Review from a Brit, hands down the best Rye I’ve had in a long time - beautiful smoothness with a delicious moreish sweetness that you just keep coming back for more. Wow.
