Sazerac - 100 Proof Straight Rye Whiskey 1L

The arrival of the Sazerac Rye 100 Proof marks a pivotal moment for cocktail connoisseurs and professional mixologists. This new expression from the storied Buffalo Trace Distillery is a direct response to the renewed interest in classic American cocktails, providing the structure and intensity bartenders demand. While utilizing the same classic "Kentucky-style" low-rye mash bill that defines the brand, the increased strength significantly enhances the whiskey's presence in mixed drinks.

Crafted with both versatility and complexity in mind, this 100-proof spirit is built to elevate drinks like its namesake, the Sazerac cocktail. The whiskey in each batch is aged for a minimum of four years, though the actual liquid is often considerably older, closer to the six-year range. The palate is designed for balance and strength, revealing enhanced complexity without losing the signature Sazerac profile. Expect a dominant nose of clove, vanilla, anise, and pepper. The taste delivers candied spices and citrus, transitioning to an impeccably smooth finish with warm hints of licorice. This new release offers superior flavor control at a remarkable value, making it an essential bottle for every serious whiskey enthusiast.
