Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Sazerac Rye at full barrel strength, distilled at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky and bottled without dilution so every bit of spice and oak comes through. Expect an intense nose of cinnamon, rye spice, orange peel and charred oak. The palate brings clove, dark cherry, leather, black pepper and vanilla bean, and the finish is long and warming with caramel, baking spice and toasted grain. It is not a gentle introduction to the category. It suits drinkers who already love rye and want to hear it louder, and collectors who follow cask-strength releases. Sipped neat it is fiery and mouth-coating, and a few drops of water open up deeper layers. It also makes a full-bodied Sazerac or Old Fashioned that stands up to sugar and bitters. We carry it because it shows what a rye-dominant mash bill tastes like with nothing held back, and because it rewards slow, curious tasting.
Pairs well with
- Smoky barbecue — The black pepper, clove and charred oak echo the char and spice rub, while the dark cherry cuts through rich, fatty meat.
- Dark chocolate — The bitterness of dark chocolate draws out the rye's vanilla bean, caramel and dark cherry notes.
- Fireside whiskey tasting night — The long, warming finish of baking spice and toasted grain rewards slow sipping and side-by-side comparison with a few drops of water.
