Sazerac Rye →
An American Rye, meaning it’s mash is at least 51% rye. Beautiful amber color. Nice distinct vanilla, peppery smell with hint of clove. Warm spice to taste with a bit of sweetness. Finish has a pleasant warm journey down, lingering a bit in the back of the throat.
Enjoyed @ Alembic 1.24.10

High rye content for a bourbon (30%). Hints of vanilla & honey over notes of oak and bit of spice. A slight bite of alcohol hits the back of the throat, but goes down smooth.
