Buffalo Trace Distillery - 'Sazerac' Straight Rye (1.75L)

The product's taste is fruity, including various flowers, orange peel, sweet apricots, and plums that meet more traditional undertones of vanilla and caramel. Light barrel char teases in the background and blend raisin and anise undertones. The body is very lightweight, and at 90 proof, needs a bit of probing to pull out all the tastes.

The product's finish is rye spice bursts forth, then only briefly. A black liquorice dash follows, but a spicy-sweet balance of caramel, dark fruit, and black pepper has instantly overtaken it. It's medium-length and welcomes you back for more.
