2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey (United States), 45% abv, $26.99

89
Very Good,
Strong Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Introduced by a layered nose of toasted cinnamon stick, graham cracker, sweet corn cake, and dried herbs, this may be the prototypical rye. On tasting, the whiskey starts out sweet slathered by toasted vanilla tones before switching gears to a blast of black pepper spice.
